Hand, from Eden Golf Club, was part of the England squad that defeated Scotland, Wales and Ireland at Royal St David’s Golf Club in Wales.
Both the women’s and men’s teams made it a clean sweep to help England regain the title.
They beat Scotland 11.5 – 6.5 on day one, before seeing off Wales 12 – 6 on Wednesday – and then sealed victory with a 10.5 – 7.5 win over Ireland on the final day.
Hand’s victories included a 3&2 triumph alongside John Kennedy in their foursomes match against Welsh duo Richard Tayler and Alistair Mason.
The Cumbrian was all-square in his singles encounter with Scotland’s Kenneth Gallacher.
Half a point was also added as Hand and Kennedy drew their foursomes match with Scottish duo Paul Moultrie and Bryan Innes.
Hand went down to defeats in singles and foursomes matches against Ireland and his singles match against Wales.

But his efforts helped ensure England claimed the title over a dramatic weekend.
England Golf senior women’s Captain Janet Melville said: “It was like a helter skelter on the course on the final day.
“The women won all three morning foursomes and got two early afternoon points to seal victory in the women’s event – with Sally Shayler adding a vital half-point winning the last two holes in her match.
“The men lost all their morning foursomes so needed to win 5 matches out of 6 to win their match – so it was an amazing comeback in the afternoon singles to seal victory.
“There was fantastic team spirit and fabulous golf – it was a wonderful team effort.”
His outing with the England senior team continued an impressive year for Hand, who is unbeaten in the Northern Counties League across 2026 and won the Carlisle Open with a score of -8, the Cumbrian also claiming a top ten finish at the Spanish Senior Open.
England’s victory, meanwhile, meant further Cumbrian success – with the men’s team captain being Andrew Atkinson from Windermere.
