Scotland regain pride in Stroyan Cup



Scotland’s under-18 girls’ golf team bounced back from the humbling 8-1 defeat by England to snatch a draw with Wales and finish runners-up in the Stroyan Cup in Lancashire.

The Scots, who had beaten Ireland 5-4 in their opening match, came from two points down to snatch a 4-4 ½ draw with Wales and win the Swansea Spoon for finishing second behind winners England.

After sharing the foursomes, Scotland were forced to come from behind after Wales’ Amy Boulden and Gemma Bradbury had beaten Eilidh Briggs 3 & 1 and Rachael Watton 4 & 3 respectively.

Alyson McKechin started the Scotland fightback with a grandstand finish after winning the two final holes for a one-hole victory over Kelly Miller.

Sammy Leslie's 3 & 1 win for Scotland over Chloe Williams levelled the overall scoreline at 3-3, before Katie Bradbury put Wales back in front by beating Rachael Taylor by one hole.

Scotland levelled with a 2 and 1 win for Ailsa Bain over Natasha Gobey, which saw them take the match.
