Irish trio named on Curtis Cup team

Maria Dunne has been named in the Great Britain and Ireland Curtis Cup team alongside fellow Irish stars Leona Maguire and Olivia Mehaffey.

Dunne, 32, was one of two picks by captain Elaine Farquharson-Black in the eight-strong team who will attempt to regain the trophy from the USA at Dun Laoghaire between June 10-12.

Dunne’s performance at last weekend’s Scottish Open Stroke Play Championship at Troon – where she finished third – will no doubt have played a part.
