Maynooth dominates Irish Intervarsity field
Defending champion Declan Loftus heads a huge Maynooth entry for the Irish Intervarsity Championship at The European Club this week.
Maynooth students make up one third of the 87-strong field and Castlebar man Loftus will be hoping to retain the trophy he won after a play-off with the University of Ulster's Tiarnan McLarnon at The Heritage Golf Club last March.
The 54-hole strokeplay event begins on Wednesday with the last three Irish Youths champions, Stuart Grehan (Maynooth), McLarnon (Ulster) and Kyle McCarron (Maynooth) all in action.
