McCormack and Byrne best in Rosapenna

Sponsor Noel McGinley of McGinley Motors, Letterkenny presents the Rosapenna Senior Scratch Cup to Galway Bay's Eddie McCormack. 

Galway Bay’s Eddie McCormack came from behind to win the McGinley Motors sponsored Rosapenna Senior Scratch Cup by two shots on three-over-par.

Banbridge's Rory Leonard and Rathmore's Ben Best led McCormack by two strokes on two-over-par 145 after 36 holes over the Sandy Hills and Old Tom Morris links on Saturday.

But it was the Cavan veteran who came out on top on Sunday, closing with a one-under-par 71 on the Sandy Hills links to edge out Leonard (75).

Former Irish Close champion and current international Tiarnan McLarnon closed with a superb 69 to take third on a countback from Best.

There was also a good performance from Royal Portrush's Tyron Clarke, eldest son of Open champion Darren Clarke, who was eighth on 228, taking the third round gross prize thanks to his closing 76.

Strabane's Conor Byrne edged out Rosapenna's Shane Sweeney and Portsalon's Ryan McGettigan  for the Junior Cup on 159 thanks to his closing 74 nett
