The plus one handicapper — South of Ireland champion in 2010 — shot a level par 71 to beat Forrest Little five-handicapper Martin Kelly on a count back. 

Ashbourne's Peter Kane claimed the gross prize with a fine 73.

Kelly joined forces with Royal Dublin's Liam Hutchinson and Athy's Jonathan Kelly to win the team prize with a score of 61.

The final outing of the season takes place on Friday next, April 13, at Royal Dublin.
