Naas’ Gus Fitzpatrick took the overall nett prize in the third outing in the 2019 Hilary Golf Society series at a rain-lashed Laytown and Bettystown.

Playing off three, Fitzpatrick was the clear winner, racing to the turn in two-under 33 to lay the foundations of a winning, two-under par 69 nett.

He finished two shots clear of Hermitage scratch player Alan Dowling as Dundalk’s Eoin Murphy won the gross with a fine 69.

Fitzpatrick was joined by Corrstown’s Dave Lowry and Cill Dara’s Kieran Byrne in winning the team prize with a score of 61.

The next outing in the series takes place on Sunday, March 24 at County Louth.
