Scottish Matchplay Championship

Defending Champions, Carnoustie Caledonia have been knocked out at the quarter-final stage of the Scottish Match Play Foursomes. Claire Penman and Frances Millar who won the title for Carnoustie Caledonia at Douglas Park last year were beaten Dirleton Castle at the 1st extra hole over Gullane 2. The home side of Hazel Saunders and Terrie Reekie were three down after five holes and only squared the match at the 17th hole before the 18th was halved in par fours. When Dirleton Castle won the 19th hole with a nett par it was the first time they had been up in the match.

Dirleton Castle will be joined in the semi-finals by Bridge of Allan, Crichton and Dunkeld & Birnam.
