They did the job in the foursomes, momentum went our way and they just fought. I told them last night 'just keep fighting, keep fighting for every single point or half point' and that's exactly what they did."Rhodes, Donegan, Beth Coulter, Lottie Woad and Hannah Darling were all part of the team which won the Curtis Cup and all played their part once and Coulter lost to Paula Martin Sampedro and Carolina Lopez-Chacarra Coto respectively, but things began to turn GB&I's way with Ong's 6&5 victory, and McDonald-O'Brien edged out Camille Min-Gaultier 2&1 to pull the visitors closer, before Rhodes delivered another crucial point with a two-hole triumph over France's Sara Brentcheneff.

I feel so privileged to be captain. For GB&I to now hold both the Curtis Cup and the Vagliano Trophy is fantastic."I think the success in winning the Curtis Cup last year helped the team this week. I reminded them in our team meetings that we had that momentum and belief."My three rookies have also been unbelievable and done the job for me every time I've asked them. For the three who weren't involved in the Curtis Cup, they could see the belief and they built on that too."

The Ironman accountant: Meet Ireland's fittest managing partner
E ndurance athletes love war stories: tales of physical adversity overcome, mental limits exceeded, emotional barriers crushed. It is part of the lore of their subculture. They also love the kind of understatement that separates them somewhat from mere mortals. It's 'just' a marathon. I'm going for a 'spin' up the Wicklow Mountains. An Olympic triathlon?

John O'Callaghan, managing partner of professional services firm S&W Ireland, is two days off the Cork City Marathon, where he finished a commendable 17th in the men's over-55 category with a time of 3hr 37min 26sec. He has clearly done this before. If you've ever seen someone the Tuesday after their first marathon, for instance, walking with a normal gait is a serious challenge, stairs are nearly impossible. But O'Callaghan is moving around his Sandyford office in Dublin like nothing unusual took place over the weekend. He can even lower himself into an office chair without wincing.
