Irish Chess History

Ireland played Wales in a friendly 20 person per side team chess match back in the early 1990s (circa 1991), does anyone have the scores from that match by any chance?
There were in fact two Ireland -v Wales matches in the early 1990s. The first match over 31 boards was in Dublin and the second over 45 boards in Cardiff. The home team was victorious each time. I have the full board by board results for the Dublin match. I will gather the details together and post something soon in the Chronology section. It’s about time I expanded that section anyway!
