Diamond one clear in Irish Amateur

The Island’s Gavin Moynihan is just a shot off the lead with two rounds of play. Picture by Pat Cashman. Belvoir Park’s Harry Diamond can get one over on best pal and world No 1 Rory McIlroy if he wins the Irish Amateur Open at Royal Dublin on Sunday.

The 27-year old reigning West of Ireland champion carded five birdies in a joint best of the day 70 to take a one stoke lead into the final 36 holes of a tournament that McIlroy never managed to win.
