Latest at the Jamboree (Seascale)

Last day and all to play for. Scotland - playing the so-far unbeaten North team - have won the foursomes by 2 games to 1 and are as we speak submerged in maintaining this position in the afternoon singles.

The first couple Fiona de Vries and Heather Anderson took their opponents Pat Wrightson and Fiona Anderson (anglo-scot but playing for some time under the English division flag) had a most exciting game which went all the way to the very difficult 18th which is a great match-play hole. Much to the north supporters sorrow this went Scotland's way after a great challenging putt by Fiona. Fiona's drive had caught the rough on the right but Heather lifted it sweetly on to the green with an eight iron leaving an eight foot trembler by Fiona to win the match with a birdie.

The second match against the English match-play champion Caroline Marron and former champion Sue Dye, got off to a bad start when the English couple sank an off-the-green putt which would have gone far enough if the pin had not got in the way. The second hole was made all the more difficult when Noreen went too left off the tee going into the worst and only really deep clump of rough inches in from the fairway. There was little Lorna could do but just get it back in play. The opposition went two up with a par. The long sixth hole was lost to a par when a great second shot by Lorna impossibly stayed up in the edge of the rough when any other ball would have followed the general pattern of gravity and sloped down into the planned central position. Chances were lost at the 4th and 7th to get two holes back but Lorna's partner left her too much to do! Three down at the sixth saw a gradual fight-back with holes back at the eighth and the 1th, a great half at the 13th with a wonderful saving putt by Lorna (after being in the ditch) and also at the 14th. All square. Unfortunately the sixteenth which was a crucial hole was lost with a loose pitch by Noreen. A bunkered seventeenth with failure to putt out meant the game was over .

One game each.

Moira and Mary - a convincing partnership, had a much easier run with 6 and 4 win against Barbara Laird and Sue Warrington. They won the first hole with a wondeful chip to the pin by Moira. They lost the third to a birdie and then won the 5th with a birdie two. They won the eighth and ninth after further lovely chips by Moira. Mary took over the "close-to-the -pin" competition with a lovely four iron at the short 10th, straight into the wind. A win at the 12th (conceded) and the 14th with a scorching birdie four. All over - and another point on the board for Scotland.

Awaiting the singles. Needing three points. Off with the binoculars.
