Lahinch's goats
The Island’s Paul McBride was denied his second successive silver medal by a shot but he’s got his sights set the big prize - the gold medal awarded to the winner of the Pierse Motors sponsored South of Ireland Amateur Championship.
Newlands’ Jake Whelan (21) added a 70 to his opening 68 to lead the qualifiers on six under 138, one shot better than McBride(69), Castle’s Alex Gleeson (69) and Mallow’s Noel McCarthy (70) as the cut for the top 64 qualifiers fell at eight over par 152 with just two of the six players on the mark making it through.
While 65 year old Arthur Pierse will be in action in the last 64 following rounds of 75 and 73, his nephews Jack and Robbie also made it after some second rounds heroics.
Jack played his last eight holes in five under to add a 69 his 79 for 148 while Robbie followed an 82 with a 70 to make it on 152.
Former winner John Greene also showed his fighting spirit by following a 79 with a 69 for 148.
Those missing out included last year's runner up Colin Fairweather, who missed out on count back, as did Lahinch and Limerick's Mark MacGrath, who reached the semi-finals, as he finished in an agonising 65th place after rounds of 77 and 75.
