Gwladys Nocera and Anne-Lisa Caudal slipped back with a74.

England’s Laura Davies and Lisa Hall, the defending champions, had eight birdies in a last day 66 and climbed into outright fifth place on 13 under par.

Kenny and Queen finished on one under par after a round of five birdies, a double-bogey and two dropped shots. Wales’ Becky Brewerton and Lydia Hall posted a 70 and were ninth in the 20-team event on seven under par.
