Davy headed for Killalane with a good result in the Street Sweep/2 Stroke Racing Supporters Club 250cc Race the priority in an attempt to hold on to the lead in this prestigious championship with the final two rounds at Scarborough next weekend.

Practice was a complete wash out with all the laps being done behind traveling marshals and there was the added disappointment of not being allowed to ride the Investasure/John Bell Yamaha in the 600cc Race, which in the end was very poorly supported race due to the current crazy rulings.

Race day and it was the Touchwood Consulting ZX10 to the line first, but it was only for two laps as a back injury, which Davy has had for a few weeks now affected him for the first time on a bike and forced him to retire as it was too painful on the big bike and with the 250cc race to come no risks being taken.

The Street Sweep 250cc Race saw Davy on the Ballygowan Supporters Club Honda have a terrific battle for third place throughout the eight laps with Barry Davidson and Richard Britton. He got the better of Britton, but had to settle for fourth place only a fraction of a second behind Davidson, but more importantly ahead of championship rival Darren Burns. That was the end of the day racing for the team, as the back injury was now proving just too painful to move with, never mind ride a superbike.

Davy as he got some massage from partner Trudy commented, “The big bike was just to painful to hold on to, on the 250 I just had to grimace and go for it, but we got a good result and now going to Scarborough next week the championship is in my own hands, but I will definitely have to go this week and get my back seen too as it is now really painful.”
