(Round 1)
Race 1: 5th place
Race 2: 5th place
Race 3: 4th place

(Round 2)
Race 1: 3rd place 🥉
Race 2: 5th place
Race 3: DNF, ended up sliding off fighting for podium places.

(Cookstown 100 Road Races)
Qualifying: 7th place Junior Support (B Race)
Race result: 5th place

Round 3 coming up this weekend 💪😎

Thank you so much again to everyone that has helped me this season 💙 looking forward to the remaining 3 weekends of the Masters Championship and the few more road races that I'm hoping to attend ✊️

2024 Principal Insurance Masters Superbike Championship Season Completed ✅️

My goal for this season was to finish in the Top 10 positions in the Supersport Cup Championship - to actually end up fulfilling that goal by achieving 10th Place at the end is actually hard to believe and I'm over the moon with it.

I really wanted to try my hardest and put all my effort into trying to do every round of this season in Mondello Park as I hadn't done a full season of racing up until this point, I only did 4 out of the 7 rounds or so, in the 2022 Masters Championship in my first year & then to have no racing in Southern Ireland last year and having to head up to the USBK Championship in Northern Ireland, my engine blew up at the very first weekend.
So it was a very tough year last year saving pretty much every penny I had to replace the engine and not be able to upgrade the bike & try make a good attempt at it this year, I still didn't get to do every round this year as we had a mechanical problem at the August weekend 🙃

Before the season started my fastest lap times around the Mondello Park International circuit was around the 1.57 mark, the one & only time we Raced on it this season my best time I got down to was a 1.50.1

My fastest lap time around the National Circuit before this season was around a 1.01 and the fastest lap time I got at the end of the season came at the last rounds which was a 57.3s in the very last race - in which I did 9 laps in a row within the 57s mark.

I got the amazing chance to take part in the 2024 Skerries 100 Sprint also which was a dream come true, I finished 9th in the Senior.

I have to thank Mark Arnott of for helping me with the suspension, the knowledge and help he gave me about halfway through the season really made a difference and even at the last round the advice he gave us we wouldn't of been able to figure out by ourselves and I don't think I would of achieved the lap times & results otherwise.

To all the lads in our little group that helped me, Liam, Derick, Neil, Deco and Luke - I couldn't ask for better lads to of given me a hand and I can't thank yous enough we wouldn't of been able to do it without yous.

Thank you to my lovely Girlfriend Parastu who has been there almost every weekend and supported me this whole year, definitely couldn't do any of this without her! And thank you to everyone who came down to support me over the year 🙏

Last but certainly not least, Vin.. I definitely wouldn't be able to do any of this without him and I cannot thank him enough, I'm eternity grateful for all his help.

Huge congratulations to all the Champions this year 🫡

Especially Jack Whearty and Mark McGauran, two of the most genuine lads I've met and gotten to know really well this year, both truly deserving champions. Special thanks to Mark for all the advice throughout the year & for lending me some bits, gent 🤝

Hopefully the insurance issues can be sorted next year & we will have racing again but if not we will have to see what happens and hopefully make some sort of a plan 😎
