Corkman Dillon Corkery is the toast of Irish cycling after staging a stunning late raid to win Rás Tailteann in the final kilometres in Blackrock, Co. Louth on Sunday.

The 24-year old from Banteer in North Cork started the final leg - a relatively short and flat 133-kilometre journey from Monaghan town - in seventh place overall, 19 seconds down on overnight race leader Conor McGoldrick.
