BURNHAM & Berrow golfer Mimi Rhodes helped England turn the tables on Spain in impressive style, sweeping to a 15-9 victory in the annual under-16s international.

England had lost the last three encounters but this year, at Preston Golf Club in Lancashire, they won with a session in hand.

Team coach Peter Barber commented: “The team were very keen not to lose for a fourth time and they performed fantastically.

“They all played a part in the victory, which was great.

“Both teams played very good golf and the standard was very high.”

The highlight of the match was the first day singles when all eight England players won, and they led 10-2 at the close of play.

They wasted no time in clinching the victory on day two, taking 2.5 points from the foursomes, to reach the necessary 12.5 points to claim the trophy.

The England team was: Barclay Brown of Hallamshire, Yorkshire; Dominic Clemons of Gog Magog Cambridgeshire; Annabell Fuller of Roehampton, Surrey; Tom Gregory from Stoke Park; Charlie Hilton of Ifield; Lily May Humphreys of Stoke by Nayland; Mimi Rhodes, of Burnham & Berrow; and Caitlin Whitehead, of Kendal.
