Robson comes off injury list to help senior 

Scots claim 2nd seeding in Euro top flight


By COLIN FARQUHARSON 
Aberdeen businessman Nick Robson (Meldrum House), who missed the first day's play with strained back muscles, was fit enough today to make his international debut with a par-matching round of 72 second day in the second qualifying round  of the European senior men's amateur team championship at Diners Golf and Country Club, Ljubljana in Slovena.
Nick's round allowed the Scots to discard a 79 by team captain David Gardner and total 723, finishing second to Ireland (710) with England third on 726. Other qualifiers for the championship flight match-play were Germany (733), Sweden (737), Spain (738), France (740), Italy (748).
Scotland, for whom Graham Bell (68), Ian Brotherston (69), Ronnie Clarke (69) and Malcolm Reid (71) starred with sub-par rounds in the second qualifying round, will play France in the first match-play round.
