IT’S destination Oslo for a pair of talented young golfers from Killarney Golf & Fishing Club as the European Girls’ Team Championship takes place in Norway. Mairead Martin and Valerie Clancy will represent Ireland at the event, which takes place from July 5-9, alongside fellow team members Julie McCarthy (Forrest Little), Niamh McSherry (Lurgan), Rachel Thompson (Cork), Annabel Wilson (Lurgan) and team captain Gemma Butler (Birr).

All those on the team have considerable experience of golfing at an elite level. This is the second year in a row that Valerie, 15, and Mairead, 16, will represent their club and country at these championships.

In the Munster Senior and Junior Championships which took place in March this year, Valerie won the Munster Senior Ladies and the Girls Under-18 DeCourcy Cup, while Mairead was selected for the Great Britain & Ireland Junior Team of Six, which challenged the Continent of Europe for the Junior Vagliano Trophy in 2015.

“Both Mairead and Valerie are immensely talented, dedicated and hard-working and their selection on the Irish team is testament to this. We’re all so proud of the girls at the club and we wish the team the very best of luck in the Championships,” said Cormac Flannery, general manager at Killarney Golf & Fishing Club.

Both girls have also previously represented Ireland in various tournaments across Europe. Mairead Martin is under the tutelage of Killarney Golf & Fishing Club’s head professional David Keating, while Valerie Clancy is under the instruction of Michael Collins, PGA professional.
