DOUBLE WHAMMY IN SWEDEN

GB AND I MEN WIN ST ANDREWS

TROPHY WITH DAY 2 ROMP

Great Britain and Ireland men's team followed up their boys' success in the Jacques Leglise Trophy match at Barseback, Sweden by winning the St Andrews Trophy.
Starting the second and final day on level terms at 6-6 with the Continent of Europe, GB and I took a stranglehold on the outcome by winning the morning foursomes 4-0.
That took the pressure off in the afternoon when the singles were shared 4-4, giving GB and I a comfortable 14-10 win, their first in the biennial series since 2008.
