Lowry wins Sunflower Trophy

After 12 laps around Bishopscourt, the Moira man was not only crowned Sunflower champion 2009, but also confirmed himself as Ireland’s number one Superbike rider.

An emotional Lowry said: “We have had a great year and I’m just glad everything worked well today for me.

“I got a good start, led from the front and watched my boards. There were no major mishaps and we just kept it smooth. I’ve been waiting on this for three years.”
