Maynooth University was celebrating double success in the Irish Intervarsity Championship as Caolan Rafferty and Ciara Casey captured the men's and women's titles at Enniscrone.
Rafferty carded a two-over 75 to win the men's event by a stroke from Maynooth teammate Eugene Smith and UCC’s Ben Murray on three-over-par 222.
Another Maynooth University player, Harry Gillivan, closed with the low round of the week, a five-under-par 68, to claim fourth.
In the women's event, Ciara Casey made three birdies on the back nine to close with a level par 73 and clinch a one-shot win over her Maynooth teammate Eleanor Metcalfe on 11-over 230.
Overnight leader Shannon Burke from Ulster University slipped back with an 82 and had to settle for a share of third place alongside two more Maynooth players, Molly Dowling and Mary Doyle.
