A further point down came Alistair Murray and Gary Henry with Liam Reilly jnr and Gary Jackson two and four points behind

respectively.

Through 12, Kinghan still led Kernohan by one point with Henry moving up to challenge another point away. Reilly jnr, Murray and Cooke were hot on Henry’s heels one point down.

Hanlon dropped back as a result of a ‘ding’ on 11 and was joined by Jackson. These two players were another point down. Through the Devil’s Elbow and with two to play, Kinghan had increased his lead to two points. Cooke, with a birdie on 13 followed by a par, and Henry with two pars moved up to join Kernohan in joint second. Then came Reilly jnr, Hanlon, Jackson and Murray another point behind.
