Slovenia add to Ireland’s tale of woe in Iceland

Having already seen their bid for European Ladies’ Team Championship glory go up in smoke, Ireland suffered more disappointment in Iceland yesterday, losing to Slovenia in their second flight clash.

Olivia Mehaffey and Maria Dunne went down 3½-1½ against the Slovenians over the Oddur course which means the highest position they can now finish is 13th.

Dunne (Skerries) and Sinead Sexton (Lahinch) lost the sole foursomes contest 3&2 against Slovenian pair Lara Jecnik and Vida Obersnel.
