Latest result from Berlin

A text, seconds ago from Berlin - hence straight off the press - has relayed the vital information that Scotland are through to the semi-finals having beaten Germany (the Home Team and previous favourites)by three games to two. Great result - but only to be expected of course! No further details are at hand but here were the games.

Mary Smith/Moira Thomson v Gumpert/Lehmann
Fiona de Vries v Beer
Lorna Bennett v Oldenbourg
Heather Anderson v Schmidt-Stutzle
Anne Ryan v Blecher

At the point of getting the text the webmaster had been checking on the performance and pedigree of the opposition - no need now but suffice to say "our girls dun good!"

Tomorrow they play Ireland - with revenge on the cards for the recent loss of the Mary McKenna Perpetual Trophy? But of course. Ireland had beaten France - second seed - by a similar margin of three games to two. It certainly proves the point that stroke-play and match-play are just not the same thing at all! Results tonight as they come on the EGA site. The webmaster wishes she had done a German o-level.

PS Great picture on the EGA of Mary Smith driving off the first tee with Moira Thomson looking on!
