Playing off 19 he had a steady start with a three-point par at the first followed by a one point double bogey and a two-point bogey to leave him on six points after three holes.
A four point par at the index one fourth kick-started his round and he parred every hole after that to the turn to cover the front nine in an impressive 25 points which was the gross equivalent of three over par.
The back nine wasn’t as impressive as he came home in 16pts thanks to three three-point pars, two two-point bogeys and three one-point double bogeys.
However, he had done more than enough on the front nine to take the overall victory with 41pts which was three more than Brian Gaughran (13) in second place.
Paul Murphy (2) with 37pts took Division 1 and also recorded the best gross with 35pts. Division 2 was won by Sean Gallagher (12) with 37pts while Barry Rafferty (21) also shot 37pts on hs way to winning Division 3, edging out incoming vice-captain Martin McDonnell.
