Britain and Ireland net historic treble

Britain and Ireland’s amateurs snatched a brilliant – and historic – third successive Walker Cup victory over the United States at Ganton today.

Two points behind going into the concluding eight singles Welshmen Stuart Manley and Nigel Edwards completed a fantastic fightback by Garth McGimpsey’s side, taking them to a nail-biting 12 1/2-11 1/2 victory.
