Wales won the first Mitsubishi European Team Championship at Cheltenham yesterday and are now World and European Champions, having won the World 14-point Team Championships in Milan in 2000.

Behind in all three matches overnight Jersey fought back to take each match to a decider. Chris Williams was first to peg out to put Wales one up, but was followed about 15 seconds later by Ian Burridge, which put Wales into an unassailable 2-0 lead. David Walters completed the 3-0 win with a decisive 7-1 win in the Golf Croquet.
