MOTORSPORT: A maiden British Championship win for Eunan McGlinchey

Third place place was enough for Aghadowey's Eunan McGlinchey in Saturday's opening Dickies British Junior Supersport race at Brands Hatch.

McGlinchey led the championship coming into the weekend and was crowned champion for the first time.

Elliot Pinson took victory beating Brian Hart by 0.6s but with Eunan McGlinchey securing third place it was enough for him.

Pinson grabbed the holeshot and was able to fend off an early race challenge from Hart – pulling away from him over the final laps to take victory.

Finishing some 23s behind the front two, McGlinchey claimed third place and sealing the title.
