Defending champions Wales, playing on home ground at Aberdovey, opened their Women's Home Internationals campaign with a 6 1/2-2 1/2 victory over Scotland.
The Scots, without Curtis Cup players Eilidh Briggs (injured) and Gemma Dryburgh (at college in America), did well to share the foursomes 1 1/2-1 1/2 but they were no match for the Welsh in the singles.
Wales won five out of the six. Scotland's only afternoon winner was Megan Briggs.
Ireland scored a rate 6-3 win over England in the other match.
