Brian Doran from Millicent Golf Club in Clane, Co. Kildare will form part of the Irish quartet who travel to Spain for the European Nations Team Championship later this month.

The reigning Bridgestone Men’s Tour winner will be joined by Fota Island teenager and hot prospect John Doyle. 

The Millicent club man and the 17-year-old former Irish Boys’ Close Champion Doyle, will be joined by Connemara's Luke O’Neill with the defending champions also able to call on the experience of Matt McClean, Malone, after last year’s heroics in Spain.

Last year’s victory was Ireland’s first triumph in the European Nations Team Championship since 2016 with Jack Hearn’s superb T3 finish helping them secure the win.

The championship takes place over 72 holes, with four rounds of individual Stroke Play beginning on 26 March 26 at Copa Real Club de Golf Sotogrande.
