Arthurs and Dunne win East of Ireland mixed
Skerries’ Maria Dunne shook off the fatigue of a long week representing Ireland in the Home Internationals when she teamed up with Forrest Little’s Eoin Arthurs to retain the East of Ireland Mixed Foursomes Championship title at Craddockstown on Sunday.
Despite tough, wet conditions, the winning pair returned a brace of 76s for a 36 hole total of 152 and a one-shot win over The Island’s Gillian O’Leary and Muskerry’s Niall Gorey. Click here for image gallery
