And younger brother Antony produced one of the drives of the evening to snatch the Junior Rod honours after a fantastic last lap charge.

Both lads have loads of talent and ability and they showed what they could could do against quality opposition.

In the other classes there was a second final win in a row for Ballymena’s Jason Clyde in the Stock Rod division and Alastair Bolton had earlier accounted for both of the Stock Rod heat races, while Cullybackey teenager Harry Gilmore went one better and took a faultless three wins from three races in the opening round of the Group Two Lightning Rod Terraclean Supreme Series. That record was matched by Cathal McFeran in the Micro F2 Stock Car division where the Portglenone lad sprinted home to a hat-trick of victories.
