Portmarnock's Adrian Morrow came from two shots behind overnight leader Frank Flynn to win the Leinster Seniors Amateur Championship by an impressive six strokes at Dun Laoghaire.

Champion in 2009 and last year's European Seniors champion, sweet-swinging  Morrow closed with a best-of-the-day 74 to win with ease on three-over par.

Naas' Maurice Kelly was second on a countback from Oughterard's Richard Joyce while Mourne's Hugh Smyth won the Veteran's Category by one shot from Birr's Billy Donlon.
