 Home Internationals at Ballyliffen, Ireland

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Scotland beat Ireland 9-6 to set up a title-decider against England, who also maintained a 100 per cent record by beating Wales 10-5 on the second day of the boys' home international at Ballyliffen Golf Club, Co Donegal in Ireland.
The Scots, last year's champions, shaded the morning foursomes 3-2 and had to fight all the way to subdue the host nation  6-4 in the foursomes.
Banchory's Sam Locke again played well to record a victory in the singles and there was also a win for Rory Franssen of Inverness by one hole after he had been all square on the 17th tee.
Deeside's Michael Lawrie was three down after 12 in his match but staged a rousing finish to salvage a square match
