Killarney’s Ewan Macindoe, Malahide’s Gavin O'Neill, Roganstown’s Sean Keeling and Royal Portrush’s Johnny Strang are tied for the lead heading into the final round of the Irish Under 16 Boys Championship at Lurgan.
They signed for opening rounds of one-over 71 with four more players one shot further back.
Carton House’s Calum Ward, meanwhile, signed for 73 that included a hole in one at the par-three eighth.
The top 33 players and ties made the cut for the final round on Thursday, however the Championship Committee are keeping an eye on Storm Ellen which may impact the final day's play.
The Irish Under 14 Championship, scheduled for Thursday at Cahir Park, has been cancelled due to the orange weather warning in place for the area.
