With Kirkistown race circuit blessed with Easter sunshine, William was looking to carry on his winning ways after the superb double at Bishops court on Saturday, and after qualifying for pole position once again, William looked a cert on the CD Racing Yamaha R6.

The Supersport race was race one and with William raring to go the crowds were massed along the banks, however, not all was to go to plan, and William who was leading the race from the off went into the chicane at the back of the circuit and on his exit the front wheel seemed to go from under him, sending him sliding along the tarmac and coming to a stop on the grass. William bounced straight up onto his feet showing that he wasn’t hurt and due to the rules he wasn’t allowed to remount the machine and walked back to the paddock, The race eventually being won by Robert English.

The crowd were waiting in anticipation to see if man or machine would be ready for the second Supersport race, and William being a true Dunlop didn’t let them down, Again William started from Pole position and led from the off, closely followed by the previous races’ winner Robert English in his slip stream for the six laps, It certainly looked a battle of nerve and skill to hold on, then as they came round the back straight Robert had taken the lead to the surprise of the crowd. For the next two laps William and Robert traded places numerous times, with Robert leading on lap seven, going into the last hairpin bend, But William wasn’t giving up the race without a fight and took the lead and the chequered flag with only a split second between them.

A fantastic and breath taking battle and with William on the Podium for the third time this weekend, the season ahead looks like there could be a lot of trophies heading to Ballymoney this year.
