Scotland’s Sally Watson set out against Henrietta Brockway (England) in the first quarterfinal match of the afternoon. Off to a flying start Watson won the first three holes, however she lost her rhythm, in the windy conditions and missed a six footer on nine which would have taken her to 4 up. 

A couple of bad drives, and missed greens later against steady performances from Brockway she was back to all square. An out of bounds 2nd shot on 18 closed the match and the point went to Brockway. 

When asked about the match Watson said “I have done what I came to do this week which was to win the Strokeplay stage, I have played seven weeks of back to back competition and am extremely match tired, didn't expect to win....Henrietta is a great player and she played steady all day.”

Twelve-year-old Lisa Maguire (Slieve Russell) stormed into the Semi-Final, only the second time she will have been in this position (lost on 18th hole at the Irish Ladie's Close Championship).  

The Irish twin who had a remarkable match against Florentyna Parker (Royal Birkdale), an experienced English International player this morning, was always up in the match against Belguim’s Laura Gonzalez-Escallo. After nine holes Maguire was 2 up and went onto to birdie the 13th, and ended up with 3 putts to win on the 15th, culminating in a match result of 5 & 3.

Sara Monberg (Denmark) who enjoyed a 5 & 4 victory over Josephine Jansone in the third round, took on Germany’s Saskia Hausladen.
A very close match for the first nine holes, then Monberg took charge from the turn and remained in front and won 2 & 1.

In an all English quarterfinal, the 2006 English U15’s Championship, Kelly Tidy beat Charlie Douglass 4 & 3, the 2006 Runner Up, English Girls’ Championship.
