The Maguire twins, Lisa and Leona, both booked their places in the last 16 of the Lancome Irish Women's Close Championship at Westport today.
The 13-year-old's from Slieve Russell recorded impressive wins with Lisa defeating Athlone's Ann Geoghegan 5&4 while Leona overcame defending champion Karen Delaney 5&3.
The foundations for Lisa's win were built early on, three birdies in the first four holes setting a pace Geoghegan was unable to match.
