SECOND-FLIGHT STATUS FOR SCOTS IN SLOVENIA

SCOTLAND WOMEN WELL OUTSIDE

TOP EIGHT MATCH-PLAY QUALIFIERS

Scotland failed to make the top-eight finish in the qualifying stages of the European women's amateur golf team championship at Ljubljanana, Slovenia.
The cut-off mark was 727 with three teams on that total - Switzerland, Italy, Denmark.
The Danes dropped down to Flight 2 on a card countback. The Scots, with a 741 total for 16th place, were nowhere near that figure and will also play in the second flight ... with their first match against Denmark!
England are the top seeds with a total of 703 after Hayley Davis was the best individual with rounds of 69 and 65 for eight-under 134.
Eilidh Briggs, Scotland's sub-par scorer in the first round, had a 77 on Day 2 but h34r 147 aggregate was still the best in the team.
Connie Jaffrey (75-73) and Gemma Dryburgh (74-74) totalled 148, two ahead of Alyson McKechin (76-74) with Scottish champion Gabrielle MacDonald on 151 (74-77) and Jess Meek 1`56 (7779).
