In a wheel to wheel race, David Farmer managed to keep his nerve to win the David Jefferies memorial Supermoto race for the first time.
Farmer figured in a near photo-finish with his Co Tyrone neighbour Alan Morgan with last year's winner David McKee third.



At the end of the 24-lap race the official difference between Farmer and Morgan was just 0.24 seconds.

"That was a tough one," confessed 24-year-old Farmer. "I had to fight every inch of the way for this particular award which means a lot to me."



Disappointed not to retain the trophy, McKee said: "If the truth be told I probably shouldn't have been racing because I was suffering from a stomach bug – I haven't eaten for three days."

Organiser Jimmy Walker commented, "The race saw some of the most exciting racing in years, it was wheel to wheel stuff.

"I'm delighted with the help we received from Lisburn City Council, A.Q. Skip Hire and Bobby Morrison Limosines."
