Levermore saw his advantage cut from four to one as the challengers piled on the pressure through day two at West Essex. 

The Essex PGA professional signed for a two-over 72 that left him at five-under-par. Chris Croucher (Cottesmore) closed the gap with a second-round 69 to lead the pursuers.

Paul Nessling (Cooden Beach), Jordan Godwin (Barneshurst), Mark Talbott (Thorpe Hall) and Richard Wallis (Canterbury) are all a further stroke back on three-under.

A total of 57 players have qualified for the third round with the cut coming at six-over-par.

The final day gets underway at 8am with Levermore, Croucher and Nessling making up the final group, who are due out at 11.36am.
