MENS HOME INTERNATIONALS - Scots lose to Ireland on o[pening day

Scotland badly missed Bradley Neil and Grant Forrest - who failed to make the match-play stages of the US amateur championships - on the first day of the men's home internationals at Southerndown Golf Club in South Wales, on Wednesday 13th August.

Ayrshire's Jack McDonald, playing with Graeme Robertson, lost his morning foursomes by 3 & 2 and in the afternoon singles was defeated by 2 & 1

The Scots lost 10-5 to Ireland and with England and Wales drawing 7 1/2-7 1/2, that means the men in blue are bottom of the table.

Ireland shaded the foursomes 3-2 against the Scots but ran way with the singles 7-3.
 
Only Daniel Young and Matthew Clark won in the afternoon for Scotland. Craig Ross and Graeme Robertson secured halved matches.
