By Just minutes post Michael Dunlop MBE, Lee Osprey’s runaway respective 125/Moto 3, Supersport 300 race triumphs, all eyes were-fixated upon the Mid-Ulster District Council Supersport (A) contest at a continually pleasant weather blessed, Bear Competitions Cookstown 100.
Unofficially inside Adam McLean’s existing SSPRT lap-record yesterday, Jackson Racing Powered by Prosper2’s Paul Jordan fulfilled in spades his pre-race favourite status, storming to race honours with a victorious margin of 10.494 seconds.

2025 IRRC Superbike Champion Tweed would finish P2 with Michael Sweeney, the first non-next-generation Supersport propelled competitor, third.
