Dominic's title on a Plate

ROTHERHAM Golf Club’s Dominic Moon was crowned the Sheffield Plate champion at Hallamshire following a exciting finish to the 36 hole event.

Following rounds of 71 and 76, Dominic was tied with Wheatley’s Steve Brennan, meaning the pair faced a sudden death play-off.

They continued to play superb golf in testing conditions before a fifth play-off hole birdie in a wintery downpour gave the 21-year-old the title and added to the list of previous winners from the Thrybergh club.

The Plate victory capped a fine week for Moon, in which he also managed to qualify for the Brabazon Trophy at Pleasington. The trophy final will be at Formby where Moon will be joined by fellow Rotherham member Jamie Harrison, who joined the list of qualifiers. Other scores from Hallamshire were: Ian Clarke 153, Jordan Perry 154, Jamie Harrison 156, Nick Poppleton 162, Teejay White 164.
