Jack proved too good for his opponent Anthony Clyde of the Dunluce Club, Portrush and at the end of the game he won by 21 shots to 3, to the delight of the supporters from Rathfriland.

The previous day he had won by 21 shots to 17 against Stephen Kirkwood, Old Bleach, which set Jack up for the final and he certainly delivered the result to lift the trophy.
