Gillian Scanlan qualified in fifth place and Rachael Taylor in 10th place for the matchplay round of the Scottish Girls (close) Amateur Championship at Eyemouth Golf Club today. 32 qualify. Gillian will now play Alison Goodwin of Glenbervie and Rachael will play Mhairi Mckay of West Kilbride in the first round of matchplay tomorrow.

The morning conditions were very difficult with a very strong wind and rain but after a 2 1/4 hour delay for fog the rain and wind eased and the later starters (the leading scorers from yesterday) enjoyed better conditions. The leader Rachael Watton, Mortonhall had a 2 under par round of 71 and second placed, Eilidh Briggs a 76.
