Gary Hurley lost out in the second round of the Australian Amateur Open Championship in Melbourne to Germany's Marcel Schneider.

Schneider had held the upper hand, and was four up with five to play, when Hurley launched a spirited comeback, and the match was still alive with Hurley one down playing the last.

Indeed, Hurley looked like sending the match into extra holes until Schneider, who struggled on the final hole, holed out from over the back of the green for a half to win the match.

It was a good day for the Irish players on Day 2 of the Lake Macquarie Amateur Championship at Belmont Golf Club outside Sydney, with all five competitors making the cut.

Ireland have won the 2010 Boys Home Internationals after comprehensively defeating Wales on the final day of play at a blustery Southerness Golf Club in Dumfries and Galloway. Their 10 ½ – 4 ½ victory ensured that they would finish the event with two and a half points out of a possible three, edging out nearest rivals Scotland who finished in second place on two points.

The Irish, who have now won two of the last three Boys Home Internationals, led Wales 3 ½ – 1 ½ at lunchtime, before winning six out of their 10 singles matches and halving two in a dominant afternoon display. Today’s stand-out performance came from Gary Hurley who won his singles match 54 to remain unbeaten for the event, with five and a half points from a possible six.
