A 13-8 victory overall saw the team crowned champions for the fourth time, all of which England have won since the combined tournament began in 2021.

On the tournament's opening day, England swept Wales 14.5-6.5 following impressive morning foursomes and a commanding victory across the singles.

Against Ireland on day two, a tighter competition had the foursomes tied 3.5-apiece.

After strong singles performances, particularly from the boys, England secured an 8-6 victory and an overall 11.5-9.5 win.

Scotland levelled things at 3-3 on the final day, however the afternoon singles saw the girls' top form result in a 5-1 win.

Despite the Boys being narrowly defeated 3.5-4.5, the overall results meant both the girls and the boys won the title.

This marks a sixth consecutive victory in the tournament for England Girls.

England Golf deputy performance director, Stephen Burnett, said: "It’s been a fantastic week from our youngsters in some difficult conditions at Conwy but they should all be very proud of their outstanding efforts."

England Golf Women's & Girls' assistant performance manager India Clyburn added: "The playing conditions have been tough all week with the wind and the course being so narrow, so accurate tee shots were needed.

"We knew what we needed to do this afternoon to win, and we're just proud of the team for sticking in there and not giving up.

"It tops off a great year for the Girls' programme."
