IRELAND NAME TRIO FOR ESPIRITO SANTO TROPHY IN TURKEY

 NEWS RELEASE FROM IRISH LADIES GOLF UNION
The Irish Ladies Golf Union is sending a strong international line-up to compete in the Women’s World Amateur Team Championships at the Gloria Golf Resort in Antalya, Turkey, 27-30 September.

British Amateur Champion Stephanie Meadow, last year’s British Strokeplay Champion Leona Maguire and International Paula Grant will play for the Women’s Espirito Santo Trophy from 27 to 30 September. 

Monkstown’s Ada O’Sullivan will captain the side.

The Championship is being played over the old and new courses at the Gloria Golf Club and Ireland will be looking to improve on their 2010 final placing after Leona and Lisa Maguire and Danielle McVeigh finished 11^th in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2010. 

That marked Ireland’s best solo finish in the event, having helped GB and I achieve two silver and five bronze medals during the years when the Home Countries fielded a combined team.
