Walderstown: Race Day Round Up

Aside from Michael Dunlop’s hat-trick of victories, arguably the main story from the ‘Race of The South’ today was via roads newcomer Kevin Keyes exploits.

Established amongst Southern Ireland’s leading purpose-built circuit racing exponents, Keyes showed no signs of nerves during his first race on public roads, as he powered to Senior Support Championship race honours.

Getting the better of Lightweight victor Keelim Ryan, Michael Gillan, Keyes impressed various astute pure road racing aficionados in attendance.

He went onto secure victory in the Non-Championship Senior Support race, finishing over four seconds ahead of top chaser, Moto 3 class winner Marcus Simpson.

At the other end of the real road racing spectrum, Barry Davidson further fastened-up his status as an all-time Irish road racing great, by taking his overall total of Irish road race victories to 96, after successes in the Junior 350 Classics, Supersport 300 races.

Jonathan Watt headed Michael Gillan, Jacque Foley within today’s sole Junior Support encounter whilst others emerging victorious today at Walderstown were the following:

Brian Mateer (Junior 250 Classics), Richard Ford (Senior 1000 Classics), John Leigh Pemberton (Senior 500 Classics) and runaway Super Twins race winner, despite starting from the second wave, the in-form Michael Sweeney.
