Matt Edwards leads Donegal International Rally after Day 1

England's Matt Edwards leads the Wilton Recycling Donegal International Rally at the end of Day 1.

Edwards holds a 12-second lead over last year's winner Callum Devine.

The Englishman was quickest in Friday's opening three stages around Malin Head, Marmore Gap and Camcross - but an overshoot in Stage 4 handed the lead to Irish Tarmac Championship leader Keith Cronin for a time.

However, Cronin lost a wheel on stage 5, which ended his rally - and Edwards regained top spot on General Classification as Day 1 drew to a close.
