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).

Foursome Results from Strathaven
Due to surface water on the greens play was suspended to allow the greens to be cleared therefore the results were late in getting through. Carly and her partner Clare-Marie Carlton unfortunately lost to Kim Boulden and Donna Jones however it is not all bad news as the other two pairings of Gemma Webster & Krystle Caithness and Sally Watson & Kylie Walker won their matches 2holes up and 1 up respectively. Giving a 2-1 lead into the singles.
England also have a 2-1 lead over Ireland.
If play in able to commence , a two tee start will begin at 1410hrs.
I still have no news as to how Roseanne is or if she is playing. I will try to keep you up to date as much as possible. If anyone has any news please EMail me on i-d.insurance@btconnect.com

Vets make it three in a row
Sorry I haven't kept the story up to date but unknown to me, my husband whisked me away for a few days to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary!
However whilst I was away Scotland made it three in a row with an unbeaten record at Strathmore winning all three games 5-4 against South, 5-4 Midlands and a final day of 6-3 against North. The finals set of matches being singles only due to a 4 hour delay on Wednesday due to bad weather.
The player of the tournament was Liz Campbell with three wins and two halved matches for 4 points out of a possible 5.
Well done Scotland.

Scotland win over South
Scotland began their defense of the Miller Stirling Trophy with a 5-4 win over what on paper seems like their main rivals. After a disappointing start in the morning foursomes where south had a 2-1 victory the team pulled out the stops in the singles with good wins by Pamela Williamson (Baberton), Moira Thomson (North Berwick) and Liz Campbell (Torwoodlee).Chris Stirling beat Cecilia Kenny (Dunblane New) 5 and 4, and Liz McCombie winning by 5 and 3 over Karen Ballantyne (Craigmillar Park), all hope lay in the final match. Noreen Fenton (Merchants of Edinburgh) eventually secured a 5-4 win for captain Joan Marshall's squad by beating Belinda Silver 2 and 1.
In the other opening-day match, Midlands beat North 5-4 after sharing the foursomes 1 1/2-1 1/2 and taking the singles 3 1/2-2 1/2.
Unfortunately due to heavy rain, this mornings foursomes were called in off the course however they are resuming play at 1.45 and playing foursomes this afternoon and two lots of singles tomorrow.
