Scotland finished with victory over England on Saturday afternoon, which included an excellent win for Pauline Douglas over Karen Hume (11-6 in the fifth game), but were just shy on points overall. England managed to hold on to second place with 23 points against Scotland’s 20, with Ireland finishing fourth on 4 points.

In the Men’s Over 65s, Scotland and England battled away for the title, with Robin Ridley taking an great win at String 1 over England’s Allen Barwise in three games.
