Ireland will go in search of their first final appearance at the European Amateur Team Championship since 2014 after Stuart Grehan secured the all-important third point of the singles on Thursday to take a 5-2 victory over defending champions Sweden in Killarney.

There was double joy too for Ireland, as the Girls’ team have also made it through to the semi-finals of their European Girls' Team Championship in Slaley Hall, defeating England by the same scoreline. They face Italy in Friday's semi-final.
