Dubai teenager shares Leinster Boys lead
Dubai's Rayhan Thomas is in Europe to grain experience and pick up silverware and he made a great start to his Irish trip with a bogey free 71 giving him a share of the lead in the Leinster Boys Amateur Open Championship at Balcarrick.
The 15-year old Dubai Amateur champion birdied the eighth and 12th to share top spot with Kinsale's John Murphy, Rosslare's John Brady and Kilkenny's Mark Power, two shots clear of Mount Wolseley's Liam Whelan.
