The Mondello Superbike Championship returns to the Co Kildare circuit this Sunday for Rounds four and five of the 11-race, 4-event championship, writes Fergus Brennan.
The Fingal Motor Club will be in charge for this second event of the season and a strong lineup has been attracted once again in the main Superbike and Supersport classes.
Brian McCormack and Marshal Neil were the class of the field at the first event and both are back for this Sunday's races with Neil determined to break McCormack's dominance which has seen him take three wins from the three races run so far. In the Cup class Martin Murphy leads the way while also sitting a very credible seventh in the overall standings.
The Supersport class has seen similar dominance with top spot after event one being taken by relative newcomer Glen Irwin. The impressive teenager won all three Supersport races at the May event with Jonny Buckley and Gary Jeffers his nearest challengers. The majority of the huge Supersport entry at the first event was made up of Cup Class riders and the best of these was Austen Wilson who takes a slim championship lead over Dermot Deegan into round 4. Wilson and Deegan also sit together in the overall points in ninth and tenth place.
