It was the long trip South to the Faugheen 50 Road Races at the end of July for Davy Morgan Racing with a hope and confidence that the current run of form would continue on the tight 2.2 mile circuit.

Practice went well and it was a front row start on the Ballygowan RRSC 250 Honda, and third row starts on both the CSC Branson R6 and Investasure Honda Fireblade.

Race day brought good weather and the organising club ran the meeting superbly and we were starting to pack up by 3.30pm. It was a good day on track as well, with another podium on the Ballygowan 250, although it was well behind the Dunlop brothers in third. In the Supersport Races there was a brace of ninth place finishes after two terrific battles with Damien Mulleady and Barry Davidson. The results for the day were completed with another brace, this time sevenths in the Open Championship Race and Grand Final. Five starts, five top ten finishes, another good days work.

Speaking later Davy said, “It was another satisfying weekend with another full set of finishes and all in the top ten. I could get no were near the pace of the Dunlop boys on the 250, but it was another podium for the season, I once again rode the wheels of the CSC Branson 600, but is just not quick enough and the big bike is a real handful round this place. However I really enjoyed all the races and was involved in some really good dices. I just hope I can carry this form into the Ulster as it has been an unlucky race for me since I returned to it a couple of years ago.”
