Cookstown 100 treble for man of the meeting Michael Sweeney - Malcolm - 24-04-2022

Michael Sweeney on his way to Superbike victory on the MJR BMW at the Cookstown 100 on Saturday in Co Tyrone.

Michael Sweeney toasted a treble with a man of the meeting performance at the centenary KDM Hire Cookstown 100 on Saturday.

Sweeney won the feature Superbike event, which was restarted over five laps after Adam McLean crashed out at the end of lap six, escaping serious injury.

Skerries man Sweeney wrapped up his hat-trick by 3.1s from Mullingar’s Thomas Maxwell, with England’s Richard Charlton in third on his Yamaha R1.

The opening Superbike race was also red-flagged after an incident on the first lap involving Paul Jordan and Mike Browne. Both riders were taken to hospital but did not sustain serious injuries.

Sweeney won the restarted race by 3.5s from McAdoo Kawasaki’s McLean, with Maxwell over seven seconds back in third.

Earlier, Sweeney also won the Supertwin race after McLean crashed out of the lead, forcing another restart.
