Ireland's Under-16 Boys team beat England 6.5 to 5.5 to complete a grand slam in the Quadrangular International Boys Event in Wales.

Played at Prestatyn, Ireland beat the hosts 9-3  on day one, then beat the Netherlands 10 - 2 before completing their win with a close fought victory over England, who had also notched up two wins.

England looked to be cruising in the morning session, taking the foursomes 3-1 leaving the Irish teenagers a massive challenge in the afternoon singles.

Taking 4.5 points from the top five matches helped Ireland to edge ahead and then wins from Patrick Callaghan and Jack Egan helped to seal a one-point win over England

Josh Black and Odhran Maguire were two of Ireland's most successful players on the final day as they teamed up to take the lone point in the foursomes before going on to win their singles.

Ireland 5.5 England 4.5
