Team Edinburgh's Mel Coutts will return to help her side in Sunday's Scottish Cup final against Troon PA after warming up on the Californian beach circuit.

Coutts and English partner Denise Austin have been playing in Los Angeles against some of the top American pairings.

"It's been really fantastic here," she told ITWZ from LA, "There have been lots of high level games, it couldn't be better.

"But I'm looking forward to playing on Sunday although it will be stange to put on a pair of shoes again."
