Tramore’s Jack Hearn and Co Louth’s Evan Farrell will take a one-stroke lead into Monday’s final two rounds at the Mullingar Scratch Trophy.

Letterkenny golfer Cian Harkin hit a phenomenal 68 to take the solo lead in 54-hole qualifying for the Connolly’s Audi West of Ireland Amateur Open Championship after two rounds.
