It was one shot better than both William White and Jonathan McKnight who each returned scores of nett 65.
At five-over-par for his front nine, 16-handicapper Colin was well in with a shout. And with a further five-over-par back nine, his nett 64 finish was always going to be the score to beat.
William White (12) was just a point behind for the runner's up prize – a four-over par front nine and three over par back nine resulting in his impressive nett 65 finish.
Jonathan McKnight (8) similarly returned a nett 65 with a birdie three to finish and deservedly claimed the Category 1 first prize. Thomas Murray (7) with a nett 66 - which included a birdie 2 at the second hole - was the category runner up.
In Category 2, Mark Hughes (17) led the way with a nett 66 - a triple bogey eight at the 12 th hole denying him outright victory. And David P Grimley claimed the runners up prize with a nett 67.
Anthony Fagan (19) was in fine form for a win in Category 3 – his nett 66 and better back nine just edging it in front of Eamon Toner (20).
