Niall Turner fired a second round 67 at Las Colinas Golf and Country Club for a two under total that moved him into a share of 34th place - within three strokes of a projected spot. But nine strokes off the leader.

Campo de Golf El Saler saw Michael McGeady improve his chances with a slice of  7th place overnight after carding a second round 70 to remain one under par. Only a couple of strokes off the top of the lead board

Niall Kearney also made progress Lumine Golf and Beach Club with a second round 69 to move into 17th place on three under. Albeit eight behind the leaders.

David Higgins bounced back on Saturday with a 69 to move up to 36th place at the halfway stage but with work still left over the next two rounds.

Mark Murphy slipped to 44th place after a second round 70.

Brendan McCarroll signed for a round of 70 and remains anchored towards the bottom of the leader board.

Ruaidrhi McGee ended day two with a 69 but moved up only place from Friday on 3 under toal at Panoramica Golf and Sport Resort.
