Carrying on from his success at last year’s Cookstown 100 when he had a double win, Dublin’s Derek Sheils man posted the fastest time to claim pole for the bike race tomorrow.

Michael Dunlop on his first roads outing on the Milwaukee Yamaha R1M finished second quickest and Derek McGee on his Wilson Craig Honda was third fastest. Tyco BMW pairing Guy Martin and William Dunlop qualified in fifth and tenth respectively.

William Dunlop had a more satisfying outing in the Supersport Qualifying session when he qualified on the front spot almost a second in front of second place Derek McGee who was closely followed by Jamie Hamilton and Michael Dunlop.

James Cowtown was quickest in the Supertwin class from Hamilton and Andy Farrell, with Michael Dunlop in forth ahead of Sweeney and Derek McGee.

Due to the worsening weather conditions during the latter sessions the Clerk Of The Course decided to postpone the races that were to be held tonight until tomorrow.
