Scotland will be walking the qualifying tightrope in the second stroke-play round of the European girls team championship at Linkopings, Sweden.
Only the top eight teams after 36 holes of stroke-play will qualify to contest the championship match-play flight.
The Scots girls are sharing seventh and eighth places with Norway on 380 with ninth-placed Netherlands only a shot behind the pair.

Spain are the leaders on 362, a stroke ahead of France with England (368) in third place.

Scotland's top scorer was Lauren Whyte (St Regulus), pictured by Cal Carson Golf Agency, with a one-over-par 73 (36-37) which was not a bad effort considering she had a double bogey 7 at the long sixth.
Connie Jaffrey (Troon Ladies) came next for the Scots with a 75 (36-39). She also had a double bogey - a 6 at the 12th.
Germany-based pro's daughter Fiona Liddell had a 76 (35-41), which included two of her four birdies at the 17th and 18th.
Lesley Atkins (Gullane) had a 78 (38-40), as had Heather Munro (Monifieth) with halves of 40-38.
The Scots non-counter was Clara Young (North Berwick), beaten finalist in the Scottish women's amateur championship. She had an 83, including an inward half of 44 which included two double bogeys
England's scorers were:
Amber Ratcliffe 70; Sophie Madden 74; Gabriella Cowley 74; Sophie Lamb 74; Alice Hewson 78, Olivia Winning 79. Ireland's scores were:

Mary Doyle 75; Niamh McSherry 76; Ariana Coyle-Diez 77; Olivia Mehaffey 79; Chloe Weir 80; Laura Doherty 84.
