Tramore's Robin Dawson defied damp, blustery conditions to close with a one over 72 and snatch the Waterford Senior Scratch Cup by a stroke from Dungarvan's Kevin Stack.
The international finished on two under par 211 with Stack's 73 giving him second place on 212 as overnight leader Michael Ryan slipped to a 78 to finish third on level par.

Ryan led by four overnight but went to the turn in six over and while he recovered with three back nine birdies at the 10th, 11th and 15th, he made a triple bogey seven at the last.
