Motorcycling: Irwin happy with campaign

An electrical problem on Sunday saw the Supersport Cup champion retire from the race. “It was a pity the bike broke down as we had good race pace. Still, finishing as Supersport Cup champion and taking ninth overall in the championship was a satisfactory end to the season. I can’t complain,” said Glenn.

Disappointment for Seeley

ShAne Byrne sealed his third British Superbike Campionship in emphatic style with a superb triple victory at the final round at Brands Hatch in Kent last weekend.

But for Carrick’s Alastair Seeley it was a season that did not match up to his expectations. After a great start to the year, things did not come together for the talented local rider. In the end he finished 13th in the title race on the Tyco Suzuki.
