Following on from last year's inaugural combined team format for the R&A Women’s and Men’s Home Internationals, teams from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales – made up of 16 players (seven women and nine men) – have now gathered at Machynys, Wales to compete in the new format across three days.
Over 18 holes, each match consists of seven foursomes games (three women and four men) and 14 singles games (six women and eight men). Team positions will be determined by the highest number of match points.
Scotland were drawn against the current trophy holders, England, for the first day's play. After the morning foursomes, England led by 5 points to 2. In the afternoon Scotland won 5 of the singles matches and halved 2, with England winning the remaining 7, England won the afternoon session 8 - 6.
Overall match score England 13 Scotland 8.
A long, hard day for the players and they have to do it all over again from 9am tomorrow against Ireland, who were victorious over Wales by 13.5 points to 7.5 today.

We wish the best of luck to the Scotland Team for tomorrow.
