Ireland trio head to World Cup

Irish champion Tricia Mangan (Ennis), Claire Coughlan (Cork) and Martina Gillen (Beaverstown) will represent Ireland at the Espirito Santo Womens Amateur World Cup at Stellenbosch, October 18-21.

Ireland’s threesome were part of the Curtis Cup team that went down to a formidable USA side, 11½-6½ in July. Ireland’s fourth representative at Bandon Dunes, Tara Delaney, was unavailable for selection due to college commitments in the USA.
