PAUL DOHERTY AND JORDAN FINDLAY
TO THE FORE IN IRELAND

Former Scottish boys match-play champion Paul Doherty shared the lead on three-under-par 69 and past British boys title-holder Jordan Finlay was joint third at the end of the first round of this week's PGA EuroPro Tour event in Ireland, the Kingspan Concra Wood Open at Concra Wood Golf Club, Castleblaney.
Doherty had birdies at the long first, fifth and 11 on a bogey-free card.
Fraserburgh's Findlay, playing out of the Paul Lawrie Golf Centre, had a 70, his lowest score for some time.
In contrast, Elliot Saltman had a 77 and Neil Fenwick a 78 while Gavin Dear slumped to an 80.
