The Briggs Sisters do well at the 2nd Round of the Scottish Girls
Nairn Dunbar’s Kelsey MacDonald has led through the first two rounds of her title defence in the Scottish Under-21 girls’ Open Stroke-Play Championship at Dunfermline Golf Club.
With Jane Turner (Craigielaw), a shot behind after one round, falling away to a second-round 85, it looks as if only the Briggs sisters from Kilmacolm , Megan and Eilidh, lying a close second and third overnight, are the only ones who can stop the 19-year-old Scottish women’s champion completing a hat-trick of Under-21 titles.
Kelsey added a 75 to her opening par round of 72 and she would be the first to admit this was not one of her best efforts. She had no birdies and dropped shots at the short fifth, the 10th and long 18th.
Eilidh, the younger of the Briggs girls and the Renfrewshire county champion, took over second place with a 72 to be one shot off the pace on 148. Eilidh birdied the long third and the six but dropped shots at the fourth and 14th in halves of 34 and 36.
Megan, Scottish Women’s Champion in 2009, also had a 72. After her disatrous 9 at the 6th yesterday she had an outward half of two-under-par, with birdies at two long holes, the third and seventh. Unfortunately 2 bogeys in the 2nd 9 spoilt the charge !
Good luck to all the West of Scotland Players tomorrow

Scottish Girls Quarter and Semi Finals
After a day of shock results at windswept Eyemouth, Kate McIntosh (Broomieknowe), 25th of the 32 qualifiers, will play the No 3 seed, Lesley Atkins (Gullane), in an all-Lothians 18-hole final of the Scottish girls’ championship tomorrow morning.
McIntosh toppled the No 1 seed and hot favourite Rachael Watton (Craigielaw) by 3 and 1 in the quarter-finals and then, with the wind increasing in intensity, Kate KO’d the No 4 seed, Gemma Dryburgh from Aberdeen via Florida, where she is a student at the IMG David Leadbetter Golf Academy.
Gemma could not manage a single par on the outward half in the so difficult conditions for the semi-finals and McIntosh was five up at the turn. She went on to win 6 and 5.
Lesley Atkins, a pupil a Loretto School, Musselburgh and originally a member of Minto Golf Club when she was the youngest-ever Borders women's county champion, upset the form book in the morning with a 5 and 3 win over the No 2 seed and Renfrewshire women’s county champion Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm).
In the afternoon, Atkins was roughly seven over par for the outward half into the gale but had a lead of two holes over the No 3 seed, Gabrielle MacDonald (Craigielaw). MacDonald rallied in the closing stages from three to one down by winning the 15th and 16th but she four-putted to lose the 17th and the match 2 and 1.
All four semi-finalists are young enough to compete again in next year’s championship which is unusual – McIntosh is 16, Atkins 15, MacDonald 17 and Dryburgh 17.
The Ansley Reid Salver second-tier match-play competition - Kate McIntosh won it last year, incidentally - was won this year by Rachel Hanlon (St Regulus), the East of Scotland girls champion who was expected to qualify for the main event but didn’t. She beat Hannah Scott (Broomieknowe) 3 and 2 in the final.
Afternoon results:

Scotland win the Bronze Medal at the European Team Championship
Scotland beat Germany 5-2 in the play-off for the bronze medals on the final day of the European women's amateur team championship at La Manga, Spain.
Spain, conquerors of the Scots in Friday's semi-finals won the gold, beating Sweden 4-3 in the championship final.
Scotland took a 3-0 grip on the match against the Germans by winning the two foursomes - Pamela Pretswell and Laura Murray, and Kelsey MacDonald and Louise Kenney, then taking the top singles with a 20th hole great win by Kelsey over Valerie Sternebeck.
Pretswell and Murray lost their singles 3 and 2, and 4 and 2 respecitvely before Jane Turner steadied the ship with her best performance of the week. The Craigielaw player beat US college circuit player Stephanie Kirchmayr 5 and 4.
That gave Scotland a winning lead and, in the tradition of these championships, any other matches still out on the course automatically stop with the player in the lead at that time declared the winner. That gave Kenney a victory although she was just one up after 12 holes on Pia Halbig.
England's form nosedived after their defeat in Thursday's quarter-finals by Scotland. They finished on a downer by losing 4.5 to 0.5 to France.

Connie Jaffrey wins the Under 14 Scottish Girls Championship
In the Loretto School Scottish U14s Girls Championship, the title went to West Kilbride’s Connie Jaffrey after she posted a tremendous two-under par 68 to edge out Clara Young from North Berwick by two shots.
Connie was a magnificent seven-under par during an exceptional ten-hole spell which included an eagle three at the par five 15th. The Ayrshire youngster’s victory could have been even more impressive but for a double-bogey five on the final hole

Scotland lose to Spain in European Team Championship
Scotland will play Germany on Saturday for the bronze medals after losing 4.5 to 2.5 at the hands of Spain today in the semi-finals of the European women's amateur team championship at La Manga, Spain.
Pamela Pretswell and Laura Murray lost at the 19th to Spain's Carlota Ciganda and Marta Silva.
Kelsey MacDonald and Louise Kenney squared it for Scotland by beating M Prat and E Folch 2 and 1.

Laura Murray lost 4 and 3 to Marta Silva and Megan Briggs went down by 6 and 5 to M Prat to give Spaniard 4pt - a winning lead in a 7pt match.
Louise Kenney beat E Floch by 5 and 3 and the Pretswell v Urchequi match was declared a square match because overall it could not affect the outcome.
Spain will play Sweden in the final, having beaten them 5.5 to 1.5 today.
England, beaten 4-3 by Scotland on Thursday, beat Netherlands 3.5 to 1.5 but the best they can do is finish fifth.
