Heather Neilson and Molly Richmond beat Connie Dodds and Maddy Cleat of Renfrewshire 6&5, with Heather hitting a 3 wood to 5 feet at the second hole to go 2 up after 2 and Molly sinking putt after putt. Emily Glencorse and Katie Scott lost to Emma Hale and Rachel Irvine of Ayrshire at the 18th having fought magnificently throughout with Emily driving straight down the middle and Katie played a fantastic bunker shot at the 9th hole. Ayrshire won all three of their morning matches to go into the afternoon singles with 3 points, Lanarkshire on 2 points Renfrewshire on 1 point and D & A with no points.

Next on the course was Katie Scott who fought valiantly and narrowly lost at the last hole to earn Charlotte McLuskey of Renfrewshire a point. Molly Richmond fought back from 2 down after 2 holes to go all square after 5 and exchanged holes with Grace Mackie of Ayrshire before Molly won the match on the 17th with a magnificent putt from off the green which she left stone dead. In the final match Alison Reid was 3 down after 8 against the big hitting Lucy McGowan of D & A but fought back to all square after 16 . Alison won 17 and with all her team mates walking down 18 secured a half in par to win the match 1 up.
