Daniel Cronin has an overnight lead of 8.8″ going into the stages at the south end of the county tomorrow. He lost 1.5″ to Declan Boyle on the last stage of the day but in the big scheme of things, could be the best way of making sure he is fighting fit to go for the win tomorrow. Michael Boyle had dropped a further 6.3″ back on Declan, but has kept the gap the same to David Kelly, who in turn has extended the gap to Desi Henry to 24.1″.
