Maguires lead Irish challenge for Euro glory

THE brilliant Maguire twins spearhead a powerful-looking Irish challenge for the European Ladies Amateur individual title over the Noordwijse course in the Netherlands, starting today.

Irish golfers have been starved of success in this prestigious event over the years, but there is genuine belief that this could be their year.

Three members of the Great Britain & Ireland Vagliano Trophy side — Leona Maguire, Danielle McVeigh and Stephanie Meadow — are in the line-up, together with Leona’s sister Lisa, Gillian O’Leary and Charlene Reid.
