Golfers from St Albans and Harpenden have been named in the England squads for the home internationals.

St Albans' Sophia Fullbrook, once of Redbourn but who now plays out of The Melbourne Club at Brocket Hall, is part of a seven-strong England Women's team who will play at Machynys Golf Club in Wales.

This will be her first appearance in the women's squad.

Performance manager for women’s golf, Becca Hembrough, said: "This group has a strong combination of experience, form and a big desire to win points for England.

"It will be a great opportunity for them all to come together as a team at this exciting event."

The Welsh course is also the venue for the men's team which will contain Harpenden Golf Club's Jack Bigham.

He was part of the England squad who played in this month’s European Team Championship and will be part of the team who won last year's tournament in Ireland.

England men’s squad manager Gareth Jenkins said: "It will be a very competitive home internationals as the teams will be very equally matched but, as holders, we are confident we can challenge once again."

England are joined by Scotland, Ireland and the hosts.

Each nation will play each other once which involves seven foursome games and 14 singles.

Positions will be determined by the highest number of match points.
