ENGLAND'S CURTIS CUP TRIO WIN INTERNATIONAL 

TEAM EVENT at DUNDONALD LINKS

England's three Curtis Cup players, Bronte Law (Bramhall), Alice Hewson (Berkhamsted) and Meghan MacLaren (Wellingborough), won the International Team competition for the SLGA Cup, held in conjunction with the stroke-play qualifying rounds of the Ladies' British Open Amateur Championship at Dundonald Links, Ayrshire.
Counting only their best two scores each round, the English trio totalled 151 on Day 1 and 144 on Day 2 for an aggregate of 295.
That was four shots better than runners-up Ireland who won the competition last year.
Ireland's representatives this week were Leona Maguire (Slieve Russell), Olivia Mehaffey (Royal Co Down Ladies) and Chloe Ryan (Castletroy).
Germany (Esther Henseleit, Leona Harm and Lena Schaffner) finished third with a total of 300.
