From football to rugby league to golf and much more, it was another busy weekend of sport.

England wrapped up their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign with a 4-0 win in Kosovo while Wales kept their hopes alive with a 2-0 win Azerbaijan.

Northern Ireland's bid for automatic qualification ended but their creditable goalless draw with Holland offered hope for the play-offs.

The sporting weekend also saw Tommy Fleetwood claim a notable win in South Africa but Great Britain's dismal winter rugby league tour ended in defeat in Papua New Guinea.
