Celebrations will be going on, as only the Irish can, at Dun Laoghaire Golf Club tonight as the girls from Great Britain and Ireland won back the Curtis Cup from a stong United States team.

It’s only the second time in the last ten encounters that the home team have won. They took an 8-4 lead going into the singles and collected the 2.5 points needed to win 11.5 to 8.5 points. Irish World No 2 Leona McGuire won 3 and 2 over Sierra Brooks and Olivia Mehaffey also won. Congratulations to the team on their outstanding achievement.
