Nightmare trip after glory for Ashley Chesters

Hawkstone Park golfer Ashley Chesters helped Great Britain & Ireland win the St Andrews Cup against the Continent of Europe in Sweden – but endured a nightmare trip home.

Chesters and his 26 team-mates missed their flight home because the roads in Sweden were so flooded and so had to catch a later one.

"I've never known flooding like it – there were 10 cars stuck in a lake and we were behind them," said Chesters.

The GB&I team defeated their counterparts from the Continent of Europe 14-10.
