Richard Britton has been killed at the Ballybunion road races.
The popular Enniskillen rider died after crashing in the 250cc race on Sunday. The meeting was abandoned.

Britton, 34, who was married with an eight-year-old son, was one of the top road racers of his generation, winning at national races throughout Ireland.

He was a double Irish and Ulster road race champion and won one international race, the Production event at the 2000 North West 200.

He also won the Regal 600cc series four times and was a podium finisher at both the Isle of Man TT and Ulster Grand Prix.
