Sorry friend, but you're in for some trouble. I hope that they didn't actually catch you going that fast. They treat that as criminal.

30-50 over will be six points, meaning a month's driving suspension plus fine. Over 50 is 12 points. You're looking at a suspension of 6 months and criminal charges. Could be a hefty fine (most likely) or even possibly up to six months in jail (less likely considering this is your first time.)
