Scots women ninth - miss out on

Top Flight place by one

Apologies for giving you duff information earlier, having not realised that the European women's amateur team championship website computer was not programmed to discard a team's worst score on the day.

When it was all sorted out, instead of scraping into the Championship Flight in eighth and last place, the Scots finished ninth in the 36-hole qualifying stroke-play which put them into the Second Flight - admittedly paper favourites to win it - alongwith Wales and Ireland.

England qualified in fourth place for Championship Flight status.

Top scorer for the Scots over the qualifying rounds was Swiss women's open amateur champion Pamela Pretswell (Bothwell Castle0 with 77 and 71 for 148.
Louise Kenney (Pitreavie), Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle) and Sally Watson (Elie & Earlsferry) all totalled 152, Louise with a pair 0f 76s, Kyle with scores of 78 and 75 while Sally followed up a 79 with a 73.
Stirling University student Kelsey MacDonald (Nairn Dunbar) improved by five shots with a 75 for 155 but Carly Booth (Comrie) is still not at her best with scores of 79 and 77 for 156.
