This year’s championships promise to be thrilling, with a mix of familiar faces and fresh talents. So, let’s dive into the lineup and what we can expect!
Returning Gold Seekers
Ireland’s men’s and women’s teams are ready to swing back into action, with four eager players returning to try for their second bronze medals. These players had made a mark during the inaugural championships held last year at the stunning Golf de Chiberta, and they’re hungry to replicate their success. Back on the men’s side is the impressive Colm Campbell from Warrenpoint, who is determined to contribute to the team’s efforts once again.
Meet the Teams
Joining Colm on the men’s team is the recent champion of the East of Ireland tournament, David Howard, hailing from Fota Island. This win significantly boosts his confidence, as he steps onto the course representing his country. Rounding out the men’s lineup are Gerard Dunne from Co Louth and David Reddan from Castleknock, both of whom are ready to showcase their skills and bring home some glory.
On the women’s side, fans can expect to see a powerhouse trio dedicated to making waves in Spain. The team includes Shannon Burke from Ballinrobe, Jessica Ross from Clandeboye, and Aideen Walsh from Lahinch, all of whom are eager to clinch victory for their nation. Wrapping up the women’s selection is the talented Clodagh Coughlan from Douglas, adding extra depth to the team.
Leadership Matters
Leading these enthusiastic squads is the experienced Damien Coyne from Tuam, who has been appointed as the team captain. His guidance will be invaluable as the teams navigate the challenging courses in Spain, and inspire players to put their best foot (or swing) forward.
What’s at Stake?
Both teams will be vying for the coveted top spots, with high hopes of finishing among the top three once again. Their goal is clear: to repeat the thrilling achievement of last year and return with more than just experience—they aim for shiny medals to bring back home.
