Midlothian are 100%  favourites to retain East Division title

Midlothian are the only county with a 100 per cent record after two days' play in the East Division women's inter-county team championship at Royal Musselburgh Golf Club.
The divisional title-holders followed up an opening day 5-4 win over Fife, on paper their biggest challlengeers, with a 6 1/2-2 1/2 victory over Stirling and Clackmannan.
Rachael Watton, Louise Fraser and Karen Marshall all won morning and afternoon for Midlothian who took the foursomes 2-1 and the singless 4 1/2-1 1/2.
In the day's other tie, Fife beat East Lothian 6-3, taking the foursomes 2-1 and the singles 4-2 with wins by Fiona Hastie, Karin Sharp, Dorothy Ford and Linda Dyball.
The final day's matches are: Midlothian v East Fife and Fife v Stirling and Clackmannan.
