Irish hoping to make it five-in-a-row at Roganstown

Niamh McSherry

Following in the footsteps of Leona Maguire and Olivia Mehaffey won't be easy but Ireland's new wave of talented stars will be bidding to make it five Irish wins in a row in the Irish Girls’ U18 Open Stroke Play Championship at Roganstown.

The action runs from Friday to Sunday, 15-17 April with 91 competitors — including 60 from overseas — playing 18 holes qualifying on Friday and Saturday with the top 50 players progressing to the final round on Sunday.

Some of Ireland's top U18 golfers will be vying for the title after Royal County Down Ladies' Olivia Mehaffey won for the third year in a row last year.

These include 2015 Junior Vagliano players Mairead Martin (Killarney) and Annabel Wilson (Lurgan) and Irish Internationals Valerie Clancy (Killarney) and Niamh McSherry (Lurgan).

Scottish player and Junior Vagliano team member Shannon McWilliam will be an overseas favourite alongside England's Chloe Frankish and Austria's Isabella Holpfer.

The Girls Open has been held at Roganstown since 2012, where current world No 1 amateur Leona Maguire first captured the title. 

The late Christy O’Connor Junior created and designed the golf course, which is set amongst beautiful lakes and hills, presenting a challenge for every golfer that plays it.
