A strong field is in place for the Elm Park/Bank of Ireland Mixed matchplay, which begins next Monday. Last year's winners, Diarmuid Murray (Foxrock) and Louise Harris (Slade Valley), will defend their title, and runners-up Seamus Ryan (Elm Park) and Joyce Lamb (Kilkenny) will be hoping to go one better than last year. Most interest however, will be focused on Kyuang Hai Lee, a 13-year-old from Korea. Currently playing off 10 from the Castle, she is teaming up with the ever-improving Aidan Claffey from Elm Park.
