England Girls’ & Boys’ Captain Jamie O’Connor said: “The coaches and staff are incredibly proud of the players this week. There were so many close and hard-fought contests but it was great to come out on top.
“It was a really successful week for the Boys, winning all three matches and winning the individual title - only dropping 1.5 points in the foursomes. The Girls narrowly lost out on the individual title but showed great fight in taking it all the way to the end, only losing out by half a point.
“A massive well done to all our players and everyone involved on a brilliant week and a great result - a specific thank you must be given to our national coaches, Steven Orr and John Watson.”
