Milton had already won the home leg 3-1 and a 2-2 draw at Woodhall ensured overall victory.

Kai Raymond and Isaac Hedger, and Isaac Wakefield and Kai Peggs, were beaten comfortably, but Maliha Mirza and Lorenzo Chapman, and rookies Ollie Samler & Bo Kidd, held their nerves as both won tight matches by one hole.

Mirza and Chapman were one down after 15, but the former holed great putts on 16 and 17 to turn the match around.

Kidd delivered excellent nett par scores on the final two holes to secure his team’s win.
