First-day winners Midlothian, East Lothian
meet on East Division Day 2 at Scotscraig
Midlothian and East Lothian, first-day winners at the East Division inter-county team championship, will meet tomorrow in what could be the decisive match of the three-day programme at Scotscraig Golf Club, Fife.
If it is not a draw, then the winners will be in a strong position going into Wednesday's final day.
Midlothian opened with a 6-3 win over hosts Fife, taking the foursomes 2-1 and the singles 4-2.
Fife county champion Elaine Moffat won the top singles tie against another former Scottish title-holder, Gabrielle MacDonald (Craigielaw) but wins by Kate McIntosh, Hannah Scott, Wendy Nicholson and Karen Marshall pulled Midlothian through to victory.
A surprise looked a possibility in the other match when Stirling and Clackmannan led 2-1 after the morning foursomes against East Lothian but the latter turned the tables for a 5-4 win by winning four of the six singles, thanks to Joanne Free, Clara Young, Lesley Johnson and Liz Dunn Butler.
East Lothian are the defending champions. They represented the division in last year's county finals at Hilton Park.This year's finals are away down at Stranraer.
Ayshire, winners of the West Division, are the first team to book a place in the last four.
