AT ROYAL COUNTY DOWN

England were the most successful country in the qualifying rounds of the Ladies British open amateur championship at Royal County Down Golf Club, Newcastle in Northern Ireland.
They had 10 qualifiers. Ireland were next best with nine and Scotland, perhaps surprisingly in view of the early exit of Scottish champion Martine Pow and three times national champion Anne Laing, were third best with six qualifiers.
The collated totals were:
10 England.
  9 Ireland.
  6 Scotland.
  5 Spain, Canada, France, Sweden.
  4 Netherlands. 
  4 Germany.
  3 Australia.
  2 Wales, Denmark.
