Scotland Seniors draw against Wales and England are the Champions

England continued their monopoly of the senior women’s home internationals title at Royal Tara Golf Club, County Meath in Ireland.
They duly won the championship for a fifth year in a row by beating Ireland 5-2 in their final match today. No other country has won the title since the over-50s tournament was introduced in 2003.
Scotland drew 3 ½-3 ½ with Wales but pipped them by half-a-point for second place on a comparison of the individual games won records.
After sharing the foursomes 1-1, Pamela Williamson was Scotland’s only winner in the singles, giving the Baberton player three wins out of three, all achieved in singles’ play.
But the Scots who did not win gave gritty performances
Lorna Bennett (Ladybank), Scotland’s top player with 4 1/2pt out of 6, had a titantic struggle with the Welsh ace, Vicky Thomas, which ended all square.
Lorna, pictured above, was two up after nine but then lost the 11th, 12th and 14th. She stopped the slide by squaring the match at the 16th and then halving the last two holes.
Fiona De Vries (St Rule) halved her match against Janet Doleman who won the 14th and 15th and then halved the last three.
Helen Faulds (Douglas Park) came from behind to get a square match with Jean O’Connor. Helen won the 15th to level matters and then the last three holes were halved.
Fiona Hunter (Baberton) went down by one hole to Denise Richards who gained the edge in a tight tie by winning the 17th and 18th.
Joint MVPs of the tournament were England’s Christine Quinn (5pt out of 6) and Christine Watson (5pt out of 5).

SENIOR LADIES’ HOME INTERNATIONAL MATCHES

Royal Tara welcomes the Senior Ladies for the Home International Matches
An English Ladies’ team, boosted by their runner-up place in the European Senior Ladies’ Team Championship, will travel to Royal Tara Golf Club, County Meath with the aim of continuing their unbeaten run of four wins in the Senior’s Home International matches.

England have won all four series since the Home Internationals started in 2003 and next week, from 2-4 October, will hope to add to that tally on Irish soil.

Ireland will be looking for a good performance on home turf and have selected Mary Madden, the winner by eight shots of their Senior Matchplay Championship from Valerie Hassett, also a member of the seven-player squad.

In 2006 when the series was played at Hamilton, Scotland took the runner-up spot and will be looking to go one better in Ireland. Included in a strong team are Kathleen Sutherland, Fiona Hunter, Lorna Bennett and Helen Faulds, respectively 1, 2, 3 and 4 in their Senior Stroke Play Championship. Ms Bennett improved on that performance by winning the Senior Match Play title.

Vicki Thomas has been a mainstay of Welsh ladies’ golf since the early 1970’s but in the 2007 Senior Ladies’ Championship, in attempting to defend her title, had to be content with second place to Ann Lewis the winner from Royal St Davids. Both have been named in the Welsh team.

Royal Tara is a relatively new complex consisting of 27 holes set in rolling parkland with the most recent 18-holes, designed by European Tour professional Des Smyth, opened for play in 1995.

Laura finished on 16-under-par 200 after 54 holes, four strokes ahead of Sweden’s Sophie Gustafson in second.

Scottish Ladies Open Play delayed

The second day’s play at the De Vere Ladies Scottish Open was halted due to bad light at 7.10pm.
Heavy rainfall on Thursday night meant that tee times were pushed back three hours while officials assessed the course.
Sweden’s Sofia Renell leads the field on two-under-par 140 after shooting a three-under 68.
South Queensferry 16-year-old amateur Sally Watson had another good day with a 75 for 145, a 36-hole total which puts her ahead of professionals of the calibre of Janice moodie (146), Catriona Matthew (148) and Lynn Kenny (148).
Quite a few players have still to complete their second rounds which means that the third and final round will start late on Saturday.
