Sugrue set to pounce in West shoot-out

Mallow’s James Sugrue is lurking just four strokes off the lead in the Radisson Blu sponsored West of Ireland Championship at a sun-kissed County Sligo.

The former South of Ireland champion posted two-under 69 to share fourth place on one-under par with overnight leader Conor Purcell, Forrest Little’s Jack McDonnell, Chelmsford’s Arron Edwards-Hill, Waterford’s Eanna Griffin and 16-year old Boys international Joseph Byrne from Baltinglass.
