On a day severely disrupted by an afternoon storm, that forced the abandonment of play and the evacuation of the course; in the ladies competition, a stunning 68 (-4) by Gabrielle Macdonald (St Andrews), pictured, gave her a three-shot lead over fellow local student Ailsa Summers (71, -1). 
In the men's competition, the usual Stirling dominance was disrupted by a player from slightly farther afield: Dominic Moon (Sheffield Hallam).
Dominic shares the lead in the event with Irish close champion Cormac Sharvin (Stirling) and Scottish amateur champion Zander Culverwell (Stirling). 
Sunday sees both tournaments finish with - weather permitting - a further 18 holes at the Torrance course.
