After the missing pandemic years, the Cup resumed in Uppsala. Upsala Golfklubb dates to 1937; Magersfontein returned after a three-year gap with thirteen years of unfinished business behind it.
England created a 4-point gap over the weekend — enough to settle the Cup without making the losing side disappear from the story.
The final score is only the surface. The format splits below show where the weekend moved, while the full match record preserves the awkward detail.
