The University of Stirling romped to victory in the Irish Colleges Invitational Tournament at County Louth Golf Club, taking an 18-shot victory in the team event thanks in no small part to a magnificent performance by Swiss player Mathias Eggenberger, writes the GUI.

Matthias Eggenberger, who formed part of a formidable Swiss team at this year's Eisenhower Trophy, set County Louth alight on day one of the Irish Colleges Invitational Tournament, writes the GUI.

Ireland are just three strokes behind a trio of co-leaders after the first round of the World Amateur Team Championship for the Eisenhower Trophy in Japan.
