In the singles in the afternoon --
Lesley Lloyd had the most substantial win for Scotland, with a 2 and 1 victory over Barbara Laird. The other five singles matches went to the last green. Sheena Wood led the order and lost by one hole to Sue Dye. Lorna McKinlay, Gillian Kyle and Alex Glennie halved with Caroline Berry, Julie Wheeldon and Chris Stokes respectively.
Meg Sievwright, from Buckpool, made one of the most amazing come-backs in the history of the competition. Six down after 7 holes, and still six down after 10 against past British Seniors Champion, Janet Melville, she dug deep and clawed her way back to be all square playing the last. Unfortunately a lost ball in the right rough spoilt the "Come-Back Kid" story, and she lost by one hole, but all credit to her determination not to be beaten out in the country.

EARLIER REPORT
Scotland's singles record in the Veteran Ladies Jamboree at Sherwood Forest Golf Club, Nottingham is much better than their foursomes. Not match-winning but at least respectable.
Against the Midlands this afternoon the singles were halved with three points each, to make the result 6-3 in the Midlands favour.
Meg Sievwright led the order against British Seniors Champion, Julie Brown, and although beaten 4 and 3, she was only 1 over par.
Lorna McKinlay was one up playing the last against Lindsay Shaw, and a half in bogey 5s secured our first point.
Sheena Wood was one down playing the last against Carol Wild, and a cast iron 4 earned her half a point.
Lorna Bennett was also one down against Helen Lowe, and also won the hole to secure another half point.
Alison Bartlett beat Mary MacLaren by 4 and 3 and Lesley Lloyd went down by 5 and 4 against Sue Spencer.
