Korie McGreevy impressed as his claimed his maiden British title on the final lap of the race

Korie McGreevy has won the British Superstock 600 title after taking a last-gasp victory at Brands Hatch.

Shane Richardson looked set to win the championship but was forced to retire, which left a shootout between McGreevy and Storm Stacey on the final lap.

The County Down rider edged past Stacey on the final circuit to win the championship by six points.

McGreevy, 22, won two races this season and was on the podium in every race he finished on his Triumph.

Aghadowey's Eunan McGlinchey finished fourth in the final race of the season and had to settle for the same position in the championship standings.
