As we hit the final month of the year, and all thoughts start to turn to next season - training and preparation, let's take a quick few moments to have a review of the year's results.

What's listed below are pure results, garnered from various reports to the best of our ability. It's an impressive list, but behind every win or minor placing is a further story of courage and determination. To single out any would do the others an injustice, but Eric Downey's win at the Mick Lally got the season off to a fantastic start. David Halpin's win at Dunsany took nearly everyone by surprise, while Isabel Cogan's victory at the Boyne GP was expected by anyone who'd seen her in action. Ronan Grimes' solo win in Donore as the season closed meant the results just kept coming for Orwell all year round

We saw a few notable riders move on - Sean McKenna went to UCD, and jumped to A2 with a fine victory in the Lucan GP, while Darragh Long and Anne Dalton were strong workhorses in their respective teams of Standard Life NRPT and DID Electrical.

Updated: As can be a danger with these lists, we missed one set of results - those of the Collins Christle Memorial in Kilmessan. That day was particularly notable for a heavy presence of Orwell in the women's placings, with Monica Marconi atop the podium. Apologies for the oversight!

But there's not enough space to detail every rider's achievements - we'll let the list below speak for itself!
