Winless Scots could still take
Seniors' title at Tenby

Going into Thursday's final day of the senior men's home internationals at Tenby, Wales, Scotland's over-55s have still to win a match - but it is still mathematically possible that they could finish up as champions if they beat Wales by a big margin in their last match.
How could this be so? Well, it's a very tight contest this year between England, Scotland and Ireland. Only Wales are out of it. They lost 7-2 to Ireland today while the Scots were following up their 4 1/2-4 1/2 first day draw with Ireland by repeating the scoreline against England.
On Thursday England and Ireland, who both have won once and drawn once meet each other while Scotland, with two draws, play Wales, who have two defeats.
If either England or Ireland win their match, then they will win the title with 2 1/2pt out of 3.
But should they draw, then both would have 2pt, opening the way for Scotland, if they run up a big margin of victory over Wales, the chance of matching their 2pt totals and then beating them in a games-won countback.
The games-won tally at the moment reads:
Ireland 11.5, England 9.5, Scotland 9.
Scotland did very well indeed to draw with England today, considering that their first three men in the "batting order" of the singles all lost.
Gordon MacDonald went down 4 and 3 to Alan Squires.
Ian Hutcheon lost 3 and 1 to Doug Arnold.
And Scottish seniors champion Bob Stewart lost by 5 and 4 to former professional Geoffrey King.
But all was not lost. Scotland's tail wagged furiously to save the day.
Rob McLellan beat former world speedway champion Jessup by 1 hole.
Then, in another nail-biting finish, Derek Murphy from Kinross won on the 18th green against Slater.
Former shinty ace John Fraser wielded his golfing camans to good effect to notch a 4 and 3 win over Gordon Broster. So the singles were salvaged 3-3 after a 1 1/2-1 1/2 division of the morning foursomes honours.
