The 2022 Women’s Interprovincial Matches begin on Tuesday morning in Moyvalley Hotel & Golf Resort.
The Ulster Women won last year’s competitions in Shannon, and will look to successfully defend it in the coming days in the round-robin event.
Kate Dwyer is one of three players from the Ulster Women’s team that returns this year, looking to defend the title. The Rossmore golfer won 2.5 points last year, and she’s hoping to impress again this week.
“It was a brilliant week in Shannon last year. Amy [O’Donnell] and Olivia [Currie] will be playing in the Women’s Interpros for the first time this week, so we have a mixture of experienced players with some newcomers, and some players coming back into the team.
“Golf can be very individual at times, so to get the chance to come together as a team and represent the province is a huge honour. Our captain Paula [Metcalfe] has been brilliant to deal with in preparations for this week. She has given us a lot of say in partnerships, but we’ll still see who gels together and hopefully it can all fall into place.”
In the Women’s competition, Connacht face Leinster, and Ulster play Munster on Day 1.
