SCOTS BOYS LOSE AGAIN IN AUSTRIA

Scotland lost their match for the second day in a row at the European boys' team championship in Austria and must beat Czech Republic in their final match to avoid finishing last in the top flight.

The Scots were beaten 3-2 by Sweden.

Eric McIntosh and Marc Watt won the foursomes 2 and 1 and Jamie Stewart won 6 and 5 in the singles to put the Scots 2-0 ahead.

But it went pear shaped after that with Rory Franssen losing by 5 and 4, Darren Howie losing at the 19th and Sam Locke going down by 2 and 1.

The final will be between Germany and France.
