"Rain and very high winds were a big challenge today," said RCGA national coach Henry Brunton, who accompanied Team Canada overseas. "Still, we're pleased overall. The matches were much closer than the final score reflects and our team played well under brutal conditions. The guys are all in good spirits and it's been a tremendous learning experience."
