Michael Dunlop delivered a popular victory for Ulster team Burrows Engineering/RK Racing as he made a one-off appearance in the Moto3/125GP race at the Cookstown 100 on Saturday for a double.

Dunlop, who dominated Friday’s Open Superbike Invitational race on his MD Racing BMW Superstock machine, was third on the first lap, but the Ballymoney rider quickly found his way past Dan Sayle and Chris Meyer to take the lead.

Dunlop controlled the race from the front and moved into a commanding lead, eventually winning the nine-lap encounter by 9.795s from Sayle (KTM 250).

Meyer finished third on his Honda 250 ahead of Don Gilbert on the Parker Car Transport Honda 250.

Kyle Parkes (Honda 125) and Gary Jordan (Honda 250) rounded out the top six.

Earlier, Kevin Lavery won the Lightweight Supersport/250GP race on his Yamaha 250 by over 13 seconds from Meyer.

Sayle secured the final rostrum spot riding a Yamaha 250.

Pre-race favourite Darryl Tweed was a retirement on the M&D Racing Kawasaki 400 after setting the early pace.

In the opening race of the day, Brandon Kavanagh won the Senior Support race on his Suzuki 750 by 5.3s from James Walsh (Triumph 675), with Aidan Cleary (Honda 600) over eight seconds further back in third.

Gary Jordan was the Senior Support ‘B’ race winner on his Yamaha 600.
