Lisa Maguire scoops Sportswoman of the Month Award

Lisa Maguire, one of Ireland's teenage twin golf sensations, has won this month's Irish Times/Irish Sports Council 'Sportswoman of the Month' award - another accolade to add to her recent win at the Spanish International Ladies Amateur Championship

Lisa's performance in 2011 to date with third place at the Scottish Open, first at the Irish Close and her win at Cadiz has catapulted her into the world's top 10 amateur golf rankings for women golfers, where Leona currently lies 5th.

Lisa now joins Irish Rugby Captain, Fiona Coughlan, Cross Country runner Fionnuala Britton, and her sister, Leona in the running for the title of 2011 'Sportswoman of the Year'.
