But Eilidh Briggs, two down with six to play, squared the match by winning the 13th and 14th (with a birdie) but then lost the 16th to be one down again … winning the 18th with another birdie to gain an honourable halved match.
Scotland won the last three singles with Ailsa Summers beating Myrian Hassan by 2 and 1 after winning the seventh, ninth and 11th for a three-hole lead.
Lauren Whyte won by 5 and 3 against Sara Ree-Evans who was three down after the fifth and never won a hole.
Hannah McCook completed Scotland’s first win with a 4 and 3 win over Jessica Evans. A close match suddenly swung the Scot’s way when she won the 13th, 14th and 15th
