Rochford Romps To Lee Cherry Memorial Trophy Victory
A superb evening of racing was served up at Tullyroan Oval on Saturday night, with Portadown’s Jordan Rochford the big winner as he scooped the Lee Cherry Memorial Trophy for 2.0 Hot Rods. There were Tullyroan Challenge Cup wins for Ballymena’s Adam Graham in the Thunder Rods and County Armagh’s Jack Murphy in the Ninja Karts, whilst the Superstox final fell to Stephen Stewart of Portadown. The DMC Gold Cup for Unlimited National Bangers went to Dublin’s Stevo McGrath, whilst the crowd were also treated to some demonstration laps by the legendary three-times World Champion Norman Woolsey in his replica Royal Mail Peugeot 205 as he celebrated his 82nd birthday.

The opening qualifier for the 2.0 Hot Rods saw an easy win for Jordan Rochford over British Champion Conor Hughes and welcome visitor from Scotland, World Champion Jason Secker. The reversed grid heat two saw Andy Best take the win over Sean Maher and Jake Devlin.
Rochford had qualified on pole spot for the Lee Cherry Memorial Trophy final and, despite an early caution period, he stamped his authority all over the race. As Jordan took the win and the magnificent trophy, Secker and Best filled the podium places.
Ninja Karts
A number of visitors boosted the Ninja Karts field, with Rowdy Grattan coming on strong late in heat one to take the win from Eddie Fowler and Cumbria’s Jayden Jeffrey. A mid-race caution in heat two brought the star drivers right into contention, with NI Points Champ Jack Murphy taking the win by a nose over Tommy Johnston and Ollie Williamson.
The Tullyroan Challenge Cup final saw Murphy set the pace from pole position, and he raced on to take the title victory in some style. A great places scrap saw Williamson take second from Cahan Bradley, Johnston and Scotland’s Christopher Lattka.

Some of the closest racing of the night came from the Thunder Rods, with Joshua McMullan taking the opening heat ahead of Joe Largey and James Goldie, before Jason Darragh grabbed the heat two win ahead of Adam Graham and Goldie.
The final was arguably the race of the night, with Graham out front but with a pack of ten cars or more right on his case. It was fantastic stuff, with Graham managing to break clear late on to seal the Tullyroan Challenge Cup victory. The huge places battle went right to the wire, with McMullan snatching second ahead of Goldie, Mark McLaughlin and Adam McKinney at the end of a great night of racing from the formula.

The Superstox saw welcome returns to action for David McMenemy, Andrew Murphy, Dean Catherwood and Paul Crawford which helped boost the grid. Ethan Martin impressed on his way to the heat one victory, coming home ahead of McMenemy and Gerard Hartley, before European Champion Steven Haugh grabbed the heat two win after relegating McMenemy late on.
Novice grader Jonathan Crawford quickly settled into the lead in the final, and was driving superbly to open up a gap out front. With the others struggling to make inroads into his advantage, he looked a cert to take what would have been a career first feature race win. But with only a few laps left he picked up suspension damage after clipping the wall, which opened the door for Stephen Stewart to steal through and collect the trophy. World Champion Jordan Robinson and McMenemy filled the top three, with Crawford struggling home in seventh after an impressive drive that promised so much more.

A depleted field of Unlimited National Bangers did their very best to entertain, with David Gurney leading the DMC Gold Cup race for much of the way. He was stopped in his tracks on the last lap by Steven Reynolds, allowing Leonard Dunn to hit the front. But Leonard had clipped the melee of the Gurney/Reynolds incident sustaining suspension damage, and as he struggled around the final bend Stevo McGrath sneaked past to take a very fortunate victory.
The opening Allcomers fell to Daryl Gilshenan, before he repeated the feat in Allcomers 2. The Destruction Derby went the way of McGrath, after he stopped both Jake and Steven Reynolds to take the win.
