Royal Portrush has been presented with a trophy won by Fred Daly almost 75 years ago to add to a collection of special memorabilia which the club is putting on display in honour of the former Open Champion

The News of the World match play cup which he won at Royal Birkdale in 1948 – the year after his historic victory at Royal Liverpool - was handed over to the men’s captain Ashley Moore.

The cup is one of a number of items which have been obtained as part of a programme to develop a major archive, some of it dedicated to the man who was born and brought up in Causeway Street, Portrush, not far from the Dunluce Links which he regarded as his spiritual home.
