The first attempt at completing the final of the Hilden Cup had to be abandoned in September when Joe O’Neill’s club broke when playing a shot resulting in his hand becoming very badly injured. The competition was completed last Sunday with Joe conceding eight strokes to Neil Larmour.

Neill got off to a great start and was three ahead after five holes. Joe won four of the next six holes to go one up. He went dormey three ahead but lost 16 and 17. Neil holed a long putt for a par three on the final green but Joe got down in two putts for victory. Neil won the Craig Cup earlier in the year.
