Volcanic Dust keeps Scots at home and KOs Portmarnock Seniors' Match

The Scotland Veterans v Ireland Seniors Ladies match fell victim to the Volcanic Dust at 25,000ft!
The annual match for the Mary McKenna Salver was due to be hosted by the Irish at Portmarnock, Dublin on Sunday and Monday, but, with all flights cancelled and the ferry full with last minute bookings, there was no way the Scots could get across the Irish Sea.
Skipper Pamela Williamson said "Our match is postponed till October, date to be confirmed. Sad, but we are all off for a game on The Duke's!"
West of Scotland players in the Scottish team were Helen Faulds (Douglas Park)-- Scottish Vets Vice Captain and Alex Glennie (Kilmarnock Barassie)
