Men and Women play England tomorrow

 The Men and Women's Scottish Teams play England tomorrow in the Home Internationals at Woodhall Spa tomorrow. We wish them well. 

SCOTS WIN FLIGHT B OF EUROPEAN WOMEN'S TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

Scotland won Flight B in the European women's team championship at Murhof, Austria, having failed, earlier in the week, to make the top eight qualifiers for the championship flight.
Having beaten Switzerland 4-1 and Netherlands 4-1, the Scots edged a 3-2 concluding win over Finland to be ranked ninth in Europe.
Scots winners were Louise Kenney and Rachael Watton in the foursomes and Kelsey MacDonald and Pamela Pretswell in the singles. Megan Briggs and Jane Turner lost their ties.
The turning point in the week would appear to have been the return to action in the match-play by Scottish champion and Vagliano Trophy player Louise Kenney who was unable to play in the two stroke-play qualifying rounds at the beginning of the week. She was hospitalised while a food blockage in her throat was removed.
Without her, the Scots missed out on the championship flight but, with Louise on board, they were a cut above the other teams who failed to make the top eight.Details:

SCOTLAND 3, FINLAND 2
Louise Kenney and Rachael Watton bt Peppiina Kaija and Annika Nykanen 2 holes.
Kelsey MacDonald bt Minna Vuorenpaa 3 and 2.
Pamela Pretswell bt Marika Voss at 20th.
Megan Briggs lost to Noora Tamnmnen 3 and 2.
Jane Turner lost to Sannan Uutinen 1 hole.

SWEDEN ARE EUROPEAN WOMEN'S TEAM CHAMPIONS
The European women's team championship was won by Sweden who beat Spain 5-2 in the final. Germany beat Belgium 3-2 to take the bronze medals.
England beat France 3 1/2-1 1/2 to finish fifth in the championship flight.
