Gary Hurley is on course to retain the Irish Intervarsity Championship

NUI Maynooth’s Gary Hurley is in the frame to defend his Irish Intervarsity Championship crown after he fired a second round 69 to grab a share of the lead with first round leader Ryan Gribben (University of Ulster) at The Heritage, writes the GUI.

They lead by three shots from NUIM’s Sean Carter with 2010 Intervarsity champion Tiarnan McLarnon a further shot back alongside UCD’s Jack Pierse.

In the Ladies section, University of Ulster’s Paula Grant continues her domination of the Ladies Series with a four-shot advantage over QUB’s Lucy Simpson heading into the final round.
