SCOTS GO DOWN FIGHTING AGAINST ENGLAND WHO WILL MEET WALES IN SENIORS' TITLE DECIDER

Scotland will play Wales for the wooden spoon while England and Ireland meet in the last-day title decider in the Senior Women's Home Internationals at Maesdu Golf Club, Llandudno, North Wales on Thursday.
Scotland, drubbed 8-0 by Ireland on Day 1, played a lot better against England but still lost 6 1/2 to 1 1/2.
No Scottish player has yet won a foursomes or a single match after two days' play.
But, to be fair, Sheena Wood (Aberdeen Ladies), Alison Bartlett (Royal Dornoch) and Alex Glennie (Kilmarnock Barassie) played their hearts out to halve their afternoon ties against the English who were pressing for an 8-0 scoreline so that they could go into the decider against Ireland on level games won-lost terms.
But Wood had a great match with Caroline Berry in which the last five holes were halved, including the last in birdie 4s.
Bartlett was four down after 12 holes against Catherine Rawthore but then proceeded to win four holes in a row from the 13th.
Here again the last two holes were halved.
And Glennie, four down at the turn to Amanda Mayne, won the 11th, 12th and 13th, lost the 14th but won the 15th and 17th with a great show of fighting spirit.
Ireland dumped Wales 6-2 and have a slight edge over England in the games-won column as they fight for the major honours.
Ireland are the defending champions and also won the European seniors title in Slovenia last month
