William Dunlop had a hatrick of wins at the Race Of The South at Walderstown yesterday. He won both the the Open race and the Grand Final on his Milwaukee Yamaha R1. The first race of the day saw him take a flag to flag victory in the Open Race from Derek McGee 2nd and Derek Sheils 3rd, the Grand Final wasn’t such an easy task as Derek Shiels pushed him in the first few laps passing him to take the lead twice, but once Dunlop opened a slight gap the race was his, with Sheils 2nd and Michael Pearson on his Hotties BMW 3rd.

William also won the 250 race on the MD racing Honda, these wins makes him the most successful rider at the Westmeath circuit with 11 wins to his credit.

It was local man Derek McGee who had the win in the Supersport 600 race, Dunlop took a trip onto the greenery on the opening lap dropping him back to 5th place, leaving the fight at the front between Mcgee and Jamie Hamilton. Hamilton tried a move on the final corner but it didn’t come off and McGee took the chequered flag closely followed by Hamilton and William Dunlop who had fought his way back to take the last place on the podium.

Jamie Hamilton was on keeping up the unblemished KMR name by winning the Supertwin 650 race unbeaten in the National Supertwin Championship so far this year.

The 125-450 race was won by Seamous Elliot on his Yamaha 450 followed by Sam Wilson and Sean O’Neill on their Honda 125s.
