Kinsale’s John Murphy leads the Munster Boys heading into the final round at Dromoland Castle.  The Munster and Ireland golfer was two shots off the lead after the first round and today he added a 70 to finish in -7 after 36 holes.  Murphy was two over for his round after six holes but five birdies in six holes set his round alight.  He birdied the ninth to turn on one over and then he reeled off four birdies in a row from the 11^th to the 14^th to get back into the red.  He bogied the par three 17^th and signed for a two under par 70.  Murphy has a three shot lead over Andrew Mulhall and first round leader Hugh O’Hare.

Monkstown’s Sean Desmond shot the lowest round of the day, he carded a six under par 66.  Desmond’s 66 featured eight birdies and two bogies.  He is now on level par in fifth place, just behind David Cunningham from Tandragee on -2.  Mallow’s Adam Boland is the third Cork golfer in the top ten, Boland is in 8th place on +3.

Greg Barrett (Mallow) is in the top 20 and Kinsale’s Mark Healy is in the top 30.  Jack Egan from Muskerry was the only other Cork golfer to make the cut.  52 players made the cut for tomorrow’s final round, with a shotgun start scheduled for 8.30am.
