O’Sullivan to captain Curtis Cup team again

IRELAND’S Ada O’Sullivan has been re-appointed captain of the Britain and Ireland Curtis Cup team which will take on America in Oregon in 2006.

O’Sullivan captained the &team which came so close to beating the Americans at Formby last June and last night the Ladies’ Golf Union announced she would be re-appointed to the post with immediate effect and will next year captain the &side which defends the Vagliano Trophy against Europe, before bringing the Curtis Cup team to America in 2006.

“I’m delighted to have been named as captain for both matches,” she said last night, adding that she had actually been approached to take on the job in the immediate aftermath of the loss at Formby, but was so upset at the result, she had needed more time to think about it.
