TOM Dolan regained top spot in the Galvin Green Northern Order of Merit when he finished second in the Bromborough Bowl two shots adrift of Enville’s Richard Shaw.
The Heswall plus one player, who has already won twice this season, at Hesketh and Eaton, leapfrogged title-holder and Cheshire team-mate Sam Prince, from Northenden, who was four strokes behind him in third place.
Only 20 points separate the two as the season approaches the half-way stage with former front runner John Carroll, from Huyton & Prescot, 65 off the pace.
Shaw, meanwhile, opened with 71 then followed up with a fine 67 highlighted by an eagle at the seventh hole.
LEADING SCORES: 138 Richard Shaw (Enville) 71 67; 140 Tom Dolan (Heswall) 68 72; 144 Sam Prince (Northenden) 73 71; 146 Cameron Massey (Wallasey) 76 70, Matt Robinson (Eaton) 75 71, Matthew Kay (Brookdale) 74 72, Max Rogers (Astbury) 73 73; 147 Jon Beesley (Mere) 73 74, Rob Cull (Bromborough) 70 77; 148 Richie Blundell (Hillside) 75 73; 149 Richard Fitzgerald (Bromborough) 75 74, Kevin Brown (Bromborough) 75 74.
