Bohill leads after first round of West

 

Defending champion Shane Lowry is nine shots off the pace after the first qualifying round of the West of Ireland Amateur Open Championship at Co Sligo.

The Esker Hills international carded a five-over par 76 at the Rosses Point course as  Baltray’s Gareth Bohill cracked a four under par 67 to lead by a shot from Royal Dublin’s Niall Kearney.

Rathmore’s Alan Dunbar is third after a 69 with last year’s beaten finalist, Mullingar’s Dessie Morgan, tied for fourth place on one-under with Michael Sinclair, international Cian Curley and Mallow’s David Finn.
