The Irish team got off to a great start when leading 5½ to 1½ after the morning foursomes and, then, rebuked a Welsh fightback in the singles to ultimately run out clear winners with five players – Sara Byrne, the Irish close champion, Mairead Martin, Caolan Rafferty, Liam Nolan and Marc Boucher – emerging with 100 per cent records.
