Ireland’s European Amateur Team Championship adventure ends with French lesson

Ireland have finished in sixth position at the European Amateur Team Championship, losing to hosts, France, on the final day at Chantilly.

Having had their hopes of a first title in eight years dashed by Italy, in the last eight, Tony Goode’s side could have only finished fifth heading into the last day, but France beat them 4-1.

Ireland were on the back foot after Paul McBride (The Island) and Alex Gleeson (Castle) were defeated 4&3 by Antoine Rozner and Robin Sciot-Siegrist, in the foursomes.
