Southern 100 newcomer Darryl Tweed produced an eye catching performance, as he won the opening 125/400 race by over 17 seconds.
Currently third in the 2016 Irish road race 400 championship, 400 Kawasaki mounted Darryl showed this evening why he is considered by many a future front runner at the international road races.

Leading 125 mounted rider was Billown newcomer Adam McLean in fourth place, who has established himself over the last two years as one of the fastest rising stars on the Irish roads.
Finalising the top six on the leader board was Oliver’s Mount specialist Mick Goodings and Paul Gartland.
Tony Limer finished a highly creditable seventh, Michael Russell on the JAP Racing Honda secured eighth.
Paul Robinson piloting the Joey’s Bar Racing RS125 Honda finished ninth as Rad Hughes wrapped up the top ten.
