Day 3 saw Ireland up against England and on a tough morning England won all 3 foursomes matches. Alan Condren and his partner David Mulholland lost their match 4 & 3 to Stuart Brown and Kevin Parkes. The other two foursomes matches were lost 1 down and 5 & 3.

So a mountain to climb in the afternoon singles. In the afternoon Alan was playing against Ian Ashenden. In a very tight match where there was never more than two holes in the difference Alan eventually won his point with a one up victory. Alan’s foursomes partner also won his match along with Steve Graham. However it was not enough to overhaul the lead England had established in the morning foursomes.

It meant England won the mens section while the Irish ladies won their section.

England were the victors overall in the combined standings.

Congratulations to Alan on a great performance overall winning 5 points from 6 matches.
