The Steve Henshaw God Cup Races at Scarborough was once again to be the final race of the year for Davy Morgan. He enjoys his annual trip to the holiday town in England, although it has never been the kindest place to him and with the affects of his heavy fall at Bush back in June still not 100% he was not expecting too much to change.

It was to be a difficult weekend with machine problems and the demands of the circuit on the shoulder resulting in slow times, low positions and retirements. On the Saturday there was little to report with retirement on the 250cc Ballygowan Supporters Club Honda, on the Autotech 600cc Honda he had a twelfth place finish in Heat 2 and a DNF in the 1st Leg Race. The Superbike was not much better with a ninth in Heat 1 on the Investasure Financial Services Honda Fireblade and a non-start in the 1st Leg Race.

Sunday was to be even shorter, after finishing second by less than half a second in the opening race of the day, the Superbike B Final, he followed that up with a fourteenth place in the main Superbike 2nd Leg Race. The day finished when he was once again was forced to retire from the 250cc Race and he felt the shoulder could not take anymore and did not start the 2nd Leg of the 600’s and the feature Gold Cup Event.

Speaking later Davy commented, “Looking back it was probably a bad idea to go when I was not fully fit, but I had made a commitment to the organisers. The nature of the circuit put a lot of pressure on the shoulder and I found it difficult to change direction quickly and the niggly problems with the 250 just made the situation worse.”

“It’s been a really difficult season and I have never fully recovered from the injuries received at Bush and in road racing you need to be 100% to compete. I would like to thank all my sponsors for their continued support and hope that I can repay them by getting back to full fitness and putting in some decent results in 2008”.
