European women's amateur team championship

Scotland have day off today in Slovenia

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Scotland, having qualified as the ninth best team from the stroke-play stages of the European women's amateur team championship at Bled in Slovenia, have the day off today.
That's because the organisers have put only seven teams into the Second Flight and three teams, including Ireland, into the Third Flight.
That is our understanding from the championship website which contained misleading information yesterday when Kirkwoodgolf.co.uk believed that Scotland had finished eighth, thus earning the last place in the Championship Flight.
It transpired that the championship computer had not been programmed to discard a team's worst score every day so it was well after the end of play before worst scores were deducted and Scotland, as a result, dropped from eighth to ninth best, from the championship flight to the second flight.
We now reckon that today's Second Flight of Flight B games are:
Italy v Wales.
Belgium v Austria.
Finlay v Switzerland.
On Friday, Scotland will come back into action, playing the winners of the Finland v Switzerland tie.
Ireland, like the Scots, have the day off today when the only Flight C tie is Iceland v Slovenia.
On Friday, the Irish will play Slovenia.
Confused? You are not the only ones!
