Disappointment for Irish against England
Ireland's slim hopes of winning the Men's Home Internationals evaporated when they lost to 9-6 to England at Pyle and Kenfig in Wales today.
Leading 3.5 to 1.5 after the foursomes, Ireland could only win two of the 10 singles matches with Esker Hills' Shane Lowry and Clandeboye's Jonathan Caldwell the only victors.
