Maynooth's Ronan Mullarney and UCC's Calum Spicer have a three-stroke lead heading into the final round of the Irish Intervarsity Championship at Rosapenna Hotel & Golf Resort.

As Maynooth's Mary Doyle saw her five-shot lead cut to one over UU's Niamh Ward in the women's event, Mullarney and Spice both shot one-over 72 on the Old Tom Morris Links to lead from Ulster University's James McVicker (74) and DCU's Eoghan Collins (75) on two-over par.

Left-hander Doyle shot a second round 80 to lead by the minimum on 11-over par from Ward, who made five birdies in a 75.
