SCOTS GIRLS BEAT WALES TO SET UP


DAY 2 CLASH WITH  ENGLAND

Scotland and England both won their first-day matches in the Girls Home Internationals at Bangor Golf Club, Northern Ireland today.
And they meet tomorrow in what is the virtual decider for the Stroyan Cup, held by the English over the past two years.
The Scots played well to beat Wales 6-3, a team with which they could only draw with last year. England, it has to be said, were mighty impressive in beating Ireland 7 ½-1 1/2
Karen Marshall’s squad won the foursomes 2 ½- ½ and that makes an awful difference with only six afternoon singles to come.
