Scotland's hopes dashed

Scotland failed to win any of the afternoon foursomes at Strathaven yesterday and finished last with no points. England were defeated by Wales however this did not stop them retaining the title for the 5th time in a row. England, Ireland and Wales all finished with two wins out of three. The tie-breaker was individual games won and England's 17 1/2pt gave them first place ahead of the Irish (15pt) and Wales (14pt).
