Ireland have beaten Belgium to make it safely through to tomorrow's semi finals of the Girls' European Team Championships in Finland.
The Irish girls made a perfect start to the tie against Belguim, claiming convincing wins in both morning foursomes matches.
The phenomenal Maguire twins, Lisa and Leona (Slieve Russell) secured a comfortable 4&3 victory while Laura McCarthy (Muskerry) and Stephanie Meadow (Royal Portrush) followed with a 6&4 win.
Ireland now only required one point from the three afternoon singles matches and despite defeat for Lisa Maguire in the top match, sister Leona once again rose to the challenge and claimed victory by a margin of 4&2.
This win gave Ireland the single point required and subsequently Stephanie Meadow, who led in her match at the time, was called in.
This 3 ½ -1 ½ win for Ireland sees the team progress to Friday’s semi finals of the championship when they will take on England for a place in Saturday's final.
