Murphy and Lyden take early leads

Irish boats are leading two of the three divisions at the Laser European Championships on Dublin Bay as the 330-boat event reaches the end of the qualification rounds this afternoon.

London 2012 Olympian Annalise Murphy had a second place and race win yesterday, again displaying her famous skill in fresh conditions.

The first event discard allowed her to drop the second place so she currently counts all race wins towards her final standings.
