IRELAND WIN TEAM TROPHY IN
BRITISH STROKE-PLAY


Ireland's Maguire twins, Lisa and Leona, and Tara Delaney combined to win the international team event, staged in conjunction with the first two rounds of the British women's open amateur stroke-play championship.
With only two of their three scores counting daily for the team total, Ireland tied with Netherlands on the 287 mark - and then won the trophy by virtue of having a lower second-round total than their Dutch rivals.
Tara's 69 and Lisa's 72 made all the difference today, enabling the Irish to overehaul the front-running Netherlands team.
FINAL TOTALS
287 IRELAND 146 141 (Tara Delaney 77-69. Leona Maguire 73-78, Lisa Maguire 73-72); NETHERLANDS 142 145 (Christel Boeljon 71-74, Caroline Karsten 72-71, Dewi-Claire Schreefel 71-75). Ireland won with lower second-round total.
291 WALES 147 144 (Sahra Hassan 72-71, Hannah Jenkins 75-73, Stephanie Evans 77-76).
293 ENGLAND 146 147 (Hannah Barwood 73-79, Naomi Edwards 79-70, Kerry Smith 73-77
295 SCOTLAND 146 149 (Laura Murray 76-78, Roseanne Niven 75-74, Kylie Walker 71-75).
298 FRANCE 148 150 (L Andre 73-75, V Derrey 78-75, B Genuini 75-79).
