Following two seasons in charge of the Home International team, Fiona Norris (Hamilton) has been named Captain of the Scottish side for the European Ladies’ Team Championships at Fulford in York in July.
“It is good to be involved with Scotland again this year,” said the former international player. “I am hoping to visit Fulford very soon. I know it is a wonderful championship course and has held many big tournaments in the past.
“Our team will be certainly ready for the challenge and I am sure it will be an advantage that the Championships are taking place in the British Isles. Scotland has many talented players and we will be aiming to put in a strong performance against the very best in Europe.”
Karen Marshall (Baberton) takes over as Captain for the Home Internationals. The Scottish team will have home advantage at Scotscraig from September 11-13.
