Scotland beat defending champions Ireland 4.5-3.5 on the final day of the Senior Women's Home Internationals at Burnam and Berrow Golf Club but, despite that, Ireland won the title for the second year in a row. 
Ireland, England and Scotland all won two of their three matches and the Irish came out on top with 15 games won to 13.5 by both the Scots and the English. 
The Scots just missed out from being runners up by England after a complicated count back. England had a convincing 7-1 victory against Wales in the other match today.
