Charlene Reid (Royal Portrush) and Karen Delaney (Carlow) paired up in the foursomes but met stiff opposition in Léa Charpier and Alexandra Vilatte and were defeated on fifteen.
Leona Maguire continued her excellent run of form and maintained her 100% record with a 3 and 2 victory over Perrine Petit.
