Callum Devine and Noel O'Sullivan boast a commanding lead at the end of day two thanks to a poor Garrygort stage from William Creighton.

Three in a row seeking Devine had his lead cut to under five seconds as Creighton went fastest in four of the first six stages on the Saturday.

But Down native Creighton lost seven minutes on the final stage of the day in Garrygort and has slipped to 15th in the standings.

Devine, a native of Park village, in the Skoda Fabia RS Rally2 now leads by 21.8 seconds from Welshman Meirion Evans and Ger Conway.

Donegal Town man David Kelly sits in third but is just over a minute behind Devine, and he is 3.2 seconds clear of Josh Moffett, with Jon Armstrong a further 1.2 seconds behind Moffett.

Lettermacaward pair Declan Boyle and Michael Boyle are sixth and seventh respectively, while Pettigo man Kevin Eves is eighth.

James Ford and Neil Shanks sit ninth, while Aidan Wray and Paddy McCrudden round off the top ten.

Next in the standings is current modified leader Kevin Gallagher and Ryan Moore, who are over two minutes clear of Aaron McIntyre and Derry Long.
