By Capping off a truly memorable day at the first Enniskillen roads meet in 66 years, Derek McGee made it five wins from five starts, as he took the spoils in the inaugural Richard Britton Memorial feature race.
As in the Open Superbike race, Mullingar’s McGee made a lightning quick start, quickly moving five seconds clear at the completion of lap 1.
From here he kept up a strong, relentless, accomplished pace to ultimately emerge victorious by just over the 12 second mark.
