Davy finished off his 2010 TT with an outing on the Davy Morgan #71 Road Racing Supporters Club 250cc Honda at the Post TT Races at Billown in Castletown. In beautiful conditions practice went well and he qualified third, which meant a front row start beside William Dunlop and Barry Davidson.

In the race Davy got a good start and slotted in behind Dunlop and Davidson as they headed next Ballykeighan and by the end of the lap he was still third behind Palmer who had taken over at the front and Dunlop. On Lap 2 he was hanging in just behind the leading two and when Palmer ran wide Davy took full advantage and was up to second place which he held until just after Church Bends on the final lap. Problem - the clutch went on the Honda and he practically had to coast home the last 3/4 mile. He could not hold of Davidson who claimed second behind Dunlop, but Davy managed to nurse it home and get across the line in third place and the final step of the podium

A tired and relieved Davy speaking later, "Happy enough with a podium to finish my fortnight here on the Isle of Man, it was good run until the clutch went and i knew it was on its way out about half way through and i just hoped it would last to the flag unfortunately it did'nt. It is now back to riding on the footpaths back at home at Bush next weekend."
