Shot difference denied England’s Junior Men the British Isles International Series as Scotland secured their third successive title.
England enjoyed a positive start on Saturday at Essex County BC as they enjoyed victories over both Ireland and Scotland, however a narrow defeat to Wales in the final match denied the young lions.
Scotland’s 10-shot victory over Ireland in the final group match was enough to overturn the shot deficit, to complete their hat-trick of successive titles.
