But the Ballyclare rider had to do his celebrating in Dublin hospital after a massive crash in the Grand Final superbike race.

He had led throughout the race after passing Dan Kneen on the opening lap but as the pair approached the chicane for the final time they touched and Hamilton crashed out.

The race win went to Kneen on the BE Racing Suzuki with Michael Sweeney and Derek Sheils completing the rostrum.
