Maguires find stunning form but Europe in the driving seat

THE amazing Maguire twins made sensational debuts for Great Britain and Ireland in the Vagliano Trophy match against the Continent of Europe in Hamburg yesterday. However, they could not prevent their team from trailing at the halfway stage.

Leona and Lisa, the sisters from Slieve Russell in County Cavan, who at 14 are the youngest ever to play in this biennial fixture, went through the day undefeated.

But still GB & Ireland face an uphill task to regain the Trophy lost two years ago at Fairmont St Andrews as they trail 7½-4½ going into the second day, with another 12 points at stake.
