As always the hospitality and friendship was outstanding, and England still lead 9-4 in the overall series of matches.

A quick note on the scoring. Each sub-team plays four matches in total - two against its counterpart, and one each against the other opposing subteams. The VP total shown is the total that that subteam scored in all its matches.
