Back injury puts Leona Maguire
onsidelines for Panmure Day 3
Leona Maguire (Slieve Russell), the 13-year-old Irish women's champion, will not play for Ireland on the final day of the Girls Home Internationals at Panmure Golf Club today.
She hurt her back during her 2 and 1 defeat by Natasha Gobey (Wales) in the Day 2 match.
Leona was named to partner her twin sister Lisa, the Irish girls' champion, as the top pairing against Scotland this morning but Sarah Cunningham was substituted for her before play started in even worse weather than yesterday - steady rain.
Ireland captain Sinead Keane was unable to speculate whether Leona Maguire would be fit enough to play in next week's British girls' open amateur championship at Monifieth where she would be one of the title favourites.
