Karl Bornemann and John O’Brien are both in action today at the European Senior Mens Team Championships in Denmark.  Ireland are among the ten teams in action, hoping to make the top eight after the opening strokeplay qualifier.  John O’Brien is appearing in Irish colours and he was delighted to get the call a few weeks ago.  He’ll tee it up at 8am this morning alongside England’s Paul Wharton and Italy’s Filippo Cleaici.  Bornemann makes a return to the team after playing in Sweden in 2017.  He’s off later on today at 12.50.  The 36 hole strokeplay takes place today and tomorrow, with the matchplay phase beginning on Thursday.  Hopes are high that Ireland will regain the title they last won in 2017.  The competition takes place in Rungsted Golf Club in north east Denmark.
