Golfers Molly O'Toole and Ella Kenny have continued a strong run for Kildare golf with recent successes at Leinster and international level.

Sixteen-year-old Molly O'Toole from McDonagh Pitch and Putt Club in the Curragh has been crowned Leinster Adult Intermediate champion after recently stepping up from juvenile competition.

Meanwhile, Athgarvan golfer Ella Kenny claimed another international success by winning the Girls 10-11 category at the British Junior Golf World Championships in Marbella.

Kenny secured the title with a strong-final round of 71 to claim the World Championship crown.

The achievements continue an impressive spell for young golfers from Kildare on both the provincial and international stage.
