Dunscombe claims Club Strokeplay title

Kieran Dunscombe won the annual club strokeplay title by defeating Darren Collins in a tough & close 9 hole play off after both players tied on 93 gross. In blustery wind and rain both players traded birdies and mistakes against each other and , In what turned out to be more of a matchplay type affair in the end both were level with each other on -1 after 7 holes and the turning point came on the 8th hole when Darren missed his 3ftr for par handing the advanatge to Kieran who duly accepted and hit a great pitch to the 9th hole to within 3ft. Darren missed his 5ft putt to put any pressure on Kieran who then slotted in his putt for his 2nd win in 3 years.

Congrats Kieran !!!
