Davy Morgan had a quick turnaround traveling straight from the Southern 100 on the Isle of Man to the Walderstown Road Races. The weather was stunning over the weekend although it was too warm for the road surface as it began to break up on race day.

A disappointing fourth place finish on the Ballygowan & District Road Racing Supporters Club 250 Honda was the first result of the day, when it just did not happen for the Saintfield rider and he had to be content with being in the unusual position well adrift of the leading three riders. The melting tar was a real problem in the Open Race as Davy found the Touchwood Consulting ZX10 Kawasaki a real handful on the deteriorating surface were there was a choice of riding on melting tar or cement dust, this resulted in a lowly thirteenth place finish. The day was completed with a solid fifth place on the Investasure/John Bell Yamaha in the Irish Championship 600 Race behind Farquhar, Britton, Stewart and Donnan.

Not his best day this season, but some steady performances continues to enhance his reputation as one of Irelands top Privateer Road Racers and at the very least he kept up the pressure at the top of the table in the Street Sweep 2 Stroke Racing Supporters Club Championship.

A very tired Davy said, “It was a mad dash from the Southern to Walderstown and we were probably not the best prepared for the weekend. With the very warm day causing the tar to melt it was not the best conditions to race in, so we were happy enough all things considered with the 600 & 250 race results, but I felt it was just a bit too dodgy to push it on the Touchwood Kawasaki.”
