England are the Senior Women's Home Internationals title winners for the 10th time since the tournament started in 2003. They completed a 100 per cent winning week at Alyth Golf Club, Perthshire by beating Wales 5.5-2.5 to win the Sue Johnson Trophy for the third year in a row.
Ireland beat Scotland 6-2 in today's other match on a very windy day. That meant that Ireland, Scotland and Wales finished with 1pt apiece. After a long involved three-stage countback, European champions Ireland were declared the runners-up with Wales third and Scotland last of four.
Ireland led Scotland 2-1 after the foursomes and then won the first four singles to finish to assure themselves of victory, if not by the 8-0 margin of last year's match still a comfortable margin.
Senior British champion Laura Webb was back at something like her best in beating Scotland's Alex Glennie by 6 and 5.
Gertie McMullen was also back in form with a 5 and 4 win over Lorna McKinley, achieved with one-under-par figures, quite an achievement in the bright but very breezy conditions.

Mary Sheehy won by 6 and 5 against Gillian Kyle.
Sheena McElroy gained Ireland's sixth point with a 4 and 3 win over Mary Smith. The key holes in this match were the eighth, ninth and 10th. McElroy won all three, birdieing the eighth and 10th. She was roughly level par at the finish

Scotland supporters had to wait all afternoon for a solitary home success in the singles. It was achieved by Aberdeen's Sheena Wood who had to go all the way to the 18th green to win by two holes against Suzanne Corcoran.
The Scot was four up after eight but Corcoran kept chipping away at the lead by winning the ninth, 11th and the 16th with a birdie.
Wood held her nerve and was able to win the 18th with a par 4 for a hard-earned victory.

ENGLAND OVERPOWER THE SCOTS SENIORS IN SINGLES TO WIN ON DAY 2

by Colin Farquharson

Scotland looked on their way to a shock victory over defending champions England when they led 2-1 after the Day 2 morning foursomes in the Senior Women's Home Internationals at a wet and eventually windy Alyth Golf Club, Perthshire today.
But England's strength in depth enabled them to turn the tables in the singles which they won 4.5 to 0.5 for an overall 5.5-2.5 victory which keeps them on schedule to win the title for the third time in a row and the 10th time in all.
Fiona De Vries and Lesley Lloyd won their foursomes by two holes and so too did Mary Smith and Lorna McKinlay.
The singles were not quite so one-sided in England's favour as the bare results suggest. Sheena Wood was a little bit unlucky to go down by one hole in the top singles tie while Lesley Lloyd was one up on the 18th tee but lost the last hole to let her English opponent off the hook with a square game.
European senior champions Ireland have lost their first two matches. Their 5.5-2.5 reverse by England was a body blow to the star-studded Irish side who will be out to repeat last year's 8-0 victory when they play Scotland on the final day at Alyth.
It will be a major surprise if England do not clinch the title by beating Wales.

Scotland scored their first win for at least two years in the Senior Ladies Home Internationals at Alyth Golf Club, Perthshire today, beating Wales 5-3 in their first match after losing all three 12 months ago.
The Scots took a 2-1 edge from the morning foursomes and added three more points with wins by Gillian Kyle (2 and 1 over Denise Richards),
Lesley Lloyd (2 and 1 against Olwen Davies) and Fiona De Vries (2 and 1 against Sharon Roberts).
Wales' two winners in the singles were Jane Rees, who beat Sheena Wood 3 and 2 in the lead-off tie, and former Senior British champion Ann Lewis, a 3 and 2 winner over Lorna McKinlay.
All square at the turn, Rees went two up on Wood by winning the 10th and 13th. The Scot won the 14th to be only one down but Rees took the 15th and 16th for the match.
Kyle was one up at the turn against Richards and went up at the 12th. Richards rallied to win the 13th to be only one down but halves at the 14th and 15th gave Kyle some breathing space and the Scot won the 16th and halved the 17th for a 2 and 1 win, her second of the day.
McKinlay was two up after nine against Lewis but the Welsh player went to town on the inward half, winning the 11th and 12th to square the contest and then taking the 13th, 14th and 16th for a 3 and 2 victory.
Lloyd won the sixth, 10th and 12th for a two-hole lead over Davies. The Scot then won the 14th to be three up. Davies won the 15th to be two down with three to play but she ran out of holes as Lloyd won on the 17th green.
Roberts won the ninth and 10th to square her match against De Vries. The next three holes were halved before De Vries edged ahead again by winning the 14th.
The 15th was halved. Then De Vries won the 16th to be dormie and she won by 2 and 1 to clinch Scotland's 5-3 victory.

European senior champions Ireland came a cropper in their bid to take the home title out of England's grasp. England won 5.5-2.5, taking the foursomes by a 2pt margin and the singles 3-1.
Scotland, who lost all three matches 12 months ago, beat Wales 5-3 on a day that started wet but turned bright and very breezy by lunchtime.

"I had an accidental fall, injuring my left elbow and it has put me out of action for a few weeks. I am very disappointed to be missing the European team championship in Poland. However, I am already back working on short game and should be ready for British, Scottish Vets title and Senior Home Internationals," said Sheena who would have been one of the top Scots in Poland.

Alex Glennie (Kilmarnock Barassie) is through to the semi-finals in her bid to become the third player in as many years to win both the stroke-play and match-play titles at the Scottish Senior Women's Championships at Fortrose and Rosemarkie Golf Club.

The other semi-final will feature Royal Dornoch American member, Ashley Rose and Kathleen Sutherland (Royal Montrose). Rose was taken to the 18th green in both her ties while Sutherland also won by one hole in her quarter-final against No 2 seed Fiona de Vries (St Rule).

Alex Glennie wins Scottish Seniors Strokeplay Title

Alex Glennie wins title at high-scoring Scottish senior women's championship
By COLIN FARQUHARSON

Despite having only one birdie over 36 holes, Alex Glennie (Kilmarnock Barassie) won the Scottish senior women's amateur stroke-play championship at Fortrose and Rosemarkie Golf Club today.
Her rounds of 77 and 78 for 13-over-par 155 gave her a two-stroke victory margin from Fiona de Vries (St Rule) (76-81) with Mary Smith (Tain) a further two shots back in third place with scores of 79 and 80.
Overnight leader Wood (Aberdeen Ladies) could manage only seven pars in a second-round 86, which included two triple bogey 7s, and her 11-stroke slump saw her slide down to a fourth place finish.
It was another day of nightmare scoring. One player took a 16 at the par-5 fourth and reached the turn in 66. There was one 11 and six 10s among the other returns.
Even the winner found the going tough. Glennie was out in 39 with a double bogey 6 at the second and another shot shed at the ninth. She then bogeyed four holes in a row from the 10th, dropped another sot at the 16th before notching a lone birdie at the 17th for halves of 39.
Runner-up De Vries had a quadruple bogey 8 at the 17th in an inward 41 for an 81.
An even local knowledge could not save Mary Smith (Tain) from running up two 7s on outward 43.
The leading 16 players qualified for the match-play championship over the next two days.
There was a five-way tie on 170 for the 16th place and, after a comparison of the second rounds, Lynne Fraser (Fortrose and Rosemarkie), who had an 80, was named the last match-play qualifier and, therefore, top seed Glennie's opponent in the first round.
Those who lost out in the countback were Jennifer Bryans (Harburn) 85, Lynn Terry (Cruden Bay) 85, Louise Graham (Carnoustie Ladies) 88 and Christine McAndrew (Nairn Dunbar) 89.

ALEX GLENNIE IS THE BEST WEST VET IN ROUND ONE OF THE 2016 SCOTTISH SENIORS

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Sheena Wood leads the field at the halfway stage of the Scottish senior women's stroke-play championship at Fortrose and Rosemarkie.
The Aberdeeen Ladies GC member shot a first round of four-over-par 75 which was good enough to put her in the pole position, a stroke ahead of Fiona de Vries (St Rule and two ahead of joint third placed Dawn Young (North Berwick) and Alex Glennie (Kilmarnock Barassie).
Tain sisters Anne Ryan and Mary Smith, who would know the course better than most, are lying fifth and sixth with scores of 78 and 79 respectively.
Nobody found the course easy. County class player Meg Sievwright (Buckpool), took an 11 at the par-3 fifth hole and required 54 shots for the front nine before she finished in 96.
De Vries had a triple bogey 7 at the second and a double bogey 6 at the 12th in compiling a 76.
Leader Wood had only one birdie, at the 14th, but she avoided major disasters, although bogeying five holes, including the last two when pars would have given her a three-shot lead.
Martine Pow (Selkirk) did not enter this year after winning both the stroke-play and match-play titles 12 months ago on her debut when she beat Wood in the match-play final. Without Pow in the field, Sheena has a chance to be the third double title-winner in a row by the end of the week.

EAST TEAM RETAIN THE ELISE DUNCAN TROPHY


West Team

East  Team
The Scratch S.V.L.G.A. West team played the East at West Kilbride for the Elise Duncan Trophy. The weather was fantastic and the course was in excellent condition,but the West team succumbed to the wonderful putting of the East team who were coached by Anne Brownie the East Captain who had been down at West Kilbride the week before.
Anne Brownie playing against Patricia Davidson was not even put off by a large branch falling off a tree at the first tee - she had to stop mid swing and managed to regroup and send her drive down the middle of the fairway.
The matches were all very close and the result of the match was not determined until the last game on the course finished May Hughes against Jane Herd which resulted in a draw so the East won 5 / 4.
Results
West names first.
Gillian Kyle (East Renfrewshire) lost 3/2 to Anne Hanson ( Glencorse )
Carol Whyte (Milngavie ) lost 2/1 to Jennifer Bryans ( Harburn )
Lesley Lloyd ( Hayston ) lost 3/2 to Sue Penman ( Gullane )
Liz Stewart (Greenburn ) halved with Lesley Johnston (Gullane )
Jane Finnie (Troon ) won 1 up against Karen Ballantyne (Craigmillar Pk.)
Ros Purdom ( Prestwick St. N. ) won 5/4 against Anne Henderson (Gullane)
May Hughes (Lanark ) halved with Jane Herd (Gullane )
Patricia Davidson ( Erskine ) lost 3/2 to Anne Brownie ( Gullane )
Robina Gilbertson ( Prestwick St. N. ) won 2/1 against Hazel Saunders (Gullane)

Match Result:  West. 4 -  East. 5
Well done the East who retain the Trophy and we look forward to a rematch next year
