In 1987, after winning his first TT, the Celtic Match Races took place at Jurby Airfield. Steve rode for the Scots on the same TZ 350 and did very well against much bigger four-strokes.

At the presentation on the Sunday evening at the old Crescent Hotel (now Paramount City) Steve scooped plenty of awards. I'll never forget the standing ovation he received as the young TT star who wasn't too big to support such an event.
