Dubliner Michael Sweeney leads the Dunlop Masters Superbike Championship after the title race was thrown wide open at Mondello Park last month.

 .

The Dubliner had started the season without a single Masters Superbike podium but has now taken five in a row, topped off by a trio of second places now leads the triple champion by seventeen, with Derek Sheils also overtaking Richie Ryan to move into second.
 

The Superbike Cup class was won by Cavan rider Shane Connolly. Having failed to finish any of the opening three rounds Connolly made up for it with three dominant victories as he ran amongst the Pro riders.
 

Evan O’Grady from Tralee left Mondello Park as the Cup Championship leader having taken three podiums, with fellow Kerryman Dean O’Grady second and Ulster rider Daniel Matheson, who took his first podium of the year in race three, third, just two points ahead of the impressive Connolly.
 

The Dunlop Masters Superbike Championship calendar continues at the end of August with three more rounds, this time on the Mondello Park International Track.
