Monkstown’s Eoghan Long secures cup victory in Douglas

Eoghan Long won the 36-hole Douglas Senior Scratch Cup on Sunday.

The Monkstown man posted the best score of the afternoon when he signed for a two-under-par 70. Added to his level-par 72 from the morning, his total of 142 for the 36 holes was enough to win the title by one shot.

Both Peter O’Keeffe and Eric Rumley had shot 70s in the first round, but the pair finished with 73s in the afternoon.
