Scotland schoolboys fight back to beat 

England, Scotland schoolgirls lose narrowly
 
Scotland, trailing by 2pt after the foursomes, rallied to beat England 9.5 to 8.5 in the annual schoolboys' golf international match at Troon Darley golf course, Ayrshire.
Scotland, however, lost the schoolgirls match by 1pt (4 to 5) to England.
Sandy Scott (Nairn Academy) and Glen Burrett (Williamwood High) were the only Scots with wins in the morning foursomes and the afternoon singles
Scott had Darren Howie (Peebles High) as a foursomes partner and Jamie Stewart (Gryffe High) partnered Burrett.
England led 4-2 after the foursomes but Scotland overcame that deficit by taking the singles 7.5 to 4.5.
In the girls' match,  England led 2-1 after the foursomes and the singles were shared 3-3.
On the day's combined play, 11 games went to the 18th green, an indication that there was not much between the sides.
