Having secured wins over Scotland and Wales on the first two days, Ireland and England headed into their match on the final day knowing it would be the title decider. With Ireland leading on game points the hosts just needed a draw, but England had other ideas.
Trailing 4-3 after the morning foursomes, England fought back to win six of the 14 singles, halving four more and losing just four to edge out the home side 11-10.
In the day’s other match, Wales edged out Scotland 11-10, a result which saw them finish third in the combined standings with Scotland ending the event without a victory.
Ireland’s women won the women’s competition with two points from three while England also won the men’s competition.
