Aine Doherty (VC Glendale) won the final round of the Cyclocross National Series in Portadown today; taking her tally to three wins out of the four rounds.

However, the battle for overall victory came boiled down to Grace Young (All human-VeloRevolution) and Stephanie Roche (Scott Bright Motor Group). While Young went into the final round today in the lead, she was only two points up on Roche in 2nd place.

And when Roche took 2nd today behind Doherty - and one place up on Young in 3rd - that ensured she sealed overall victory in the series. The finishing order of Roche and Young today meant Roche beat Young, by just two points, to win the series - full results of which are below, with the full result from today's final round.
