Local man Terry O'Reilly, Rathmolyon is gearing up to fly the flag for Ireland at the Internationally renowned Isle of Man TT Races. This year O'Reilly is partnering with Mark Gash from Co Cork, who takes up the passenger role.

Having teamed up for the first time late last year the duo has consistently podiumed at all outings in pursuit of getting the necessary race results and track time to be eligible to qualify for this prestigious event.

The team will compete on a Formula 2 DMR powered by a 600cc Kawasaki. The outfit was built by Dave Molyneaux, a living legend in TT terms, having a total of 17 TT wins to his name.

The team are in final stages of preparation before heading to the island where there are five days of practice and qualifying before the first of two Sidecar races on Saturday 30th May and Wednesday 3rd June.

If anyone or company would like to come onboard to provide support O'Reilly and Gash in the form of sponsorship they would be delighted to hear from you.
