ENGLAND THROUGH TO THE EUROPEAN BOYS SEMI-FINALS
 England
will meet the Netherlands today in the semi-finals of the
European Boys Team Championships at Rold Skov Golf Club near
Aalborg in Denmark.
England booked their place in the last four with a 4.5 -
2.5 victory over France in yesterday’s quarter finals.
The morning foursomes were shared 1-1, England’s win
coming from Andrew Johnston (pictured left - photo courtesy
of Tom Ward) and Jack Hiluta who had to go to the 23rd hole,
in the longest match of the tournament, to defeat Romain Schneider
and Edward Dubois.
By mid-afternoon the singles were so evenly poised the result
could have gone either way. But the English lads gradually
assumed control with Tommy Fleetwood, Johnston and Matt Haines
emerging victorious while Hiluta secured a half.
In the other semi-final, Italy, 5-2 winners over Scotland,
will face Denmark who beat Sweden 4.5 - 2.5.
