Millicent’s Brian Doran bounced back from his disappointment in the South of Ireland Championship to claim his first amateur ‘major’ with a two-shot win in the 62nd Mullingar Scratch Trophy.

Millicent’s Brian Doran carded a two-under 70 to take a two-stroke lead into the final round of the Mullingar Scratch Trophy.

Douglas’ Robbie Walsh had enough with a final round 76 to win the BoyleSports Lee Valley Senior Scratch Cup by two strokes from Nenagh’s David Redddan.

Douglas star Peter O’Keeffe is hoping it will be a case of fifth time lucky after he played superbly on the first day of matchplay combat to ease his way into the last 16 in the Pierse Motors sponsored South of Ireland Championship for the fifth year running.
