The 22-year-old had earlier won the first Supersport race at the ‘King of Kirkistown’ meeting to make it three short circuit wins in a row on the ZX-6R after he clinched a double at the Enkalon Trophy event at Bishopscourt on Saturday.

McLean has been using the short circuit meetings for track time ahead of this weekend’s opening Irish road race at the Cookstown 100.
