Garry Jennings and Enda Sherry took a fantastic third place overall on Jennings' first event in an Impreza World Rally Car on the Ulster International Rally last weekend.

The finish ramp in Armagh's Mall beckoned and Jennings was first to be interviewed as the top three were presented in reverse order: "It's absolutely fantastic to be on the same podium as Eugene (Donnelly) and Eamonn and apart from clipping a wee post with the bumper, there isn't a mark on the car. I can't thank JMB Enterprises and all my sponsors, friends and family enough for all the support and help in getting us here. I hope they are as pleased as I am with the result and it goes some way to repaying their faith in me. There is one down-side though, there will be some sore heads in the morning! I've also got to thank Enda for a top job. It's funny to think that when I was in Peugeots, he was sitting by Dessie Keenan and we had some close battles against each other."

While there are no firm plans to compete in the car again, Jennings is working closely with his sponsors to try and secure more time in a World Rally car and hopes a deal can be struck before next season.
