Portmarnock's Adrian Morrow gave Ireland the European Senior Men's Amateur Team Championship for the sixth time in 12 years and fourth in five when he beat Denmark's Henrik Daugaard at the 21st to secure a dramatic 3-2 at PGA Sweden National.
John Mitchell and Eamon Haugh combined for their third success of the week in the foursomes to put Ireland on the front foot and with Karl Bornemann taking his game 5 and 4, Ireland were just one point from victory.
However, Jim Carvill was beaten at the 19th by Hans Peter Jacobsen and Denmark drew level when Michael C Flindt beat Garth McGimpsey 2 and 1 in the anchor leg.
All eyes were on the clash between Morrow and Daugaard and after finishing all square after 18 holes, the 64-year old Portmarnock veteran prevailed at the third extra hole.
England beat Scotland 3.5-1.5 to take third place.
