Skerries rider contests Cookstown 100
2014 saw the Skerries rider take Man of the Meeting at quite a few National Road Races and the former Manx Grand Prix winner will again be onboard the MJR Kawasaki, Trak Blast Yamaha and Kiely Heating Supertwin Kawasaki for the County Tyrone event.
As an advocate of the quarter litre class, the Irishman is disappointed there is no 250cc race at this year’s event, but one of his major goals is to be the first Southern Centre rider to win back-to-back 250cc Irish Road Race Championships in 2015.
