Kelsey and Jane in Florida quarter-finals

Two Scottish students are through to the last eight of the Doherty-Jones Challenge Cup women's amateur match-play tournament, the third event on the Orange Blossom Tour, at Coral Ridge Country Club, Fort Lauderdale.
Stirling University's Scottish Under-21 champion Kelsey MacDonald (Nairn Dunbar) beat Vanessa Vela (Colombia) by 2 and 1 to reach the quarter-finals in which she will play the No 2 seed Kyle Roig (Puerto Rico), winner of the first event on the Orange Blossom Tour, the Harder Hall Invitational.
Aberdeen's Robert Gordon University student Jane Turner (Craigielaw) beat fellow Scot Laura Mackin, who lives on Majorca but is a Ranfurly Castle member, by 5 and 4. Mackin was the No 5 seed, the highest of all the European players.
Louise Kenney (Pitreavie) won her First Flight first round tie by 6 and 5 against Lin McMillan and, in the same category, Harriet Beasley (Stirling Univ & Woburn) beat Sara Banke by 5 and 3.
Stirling students Rachel Cassidy (The Island, Dublin) & Jordana Graham (Southerness) won their Second flight ties by 3 and 1 and 5 and 3 respectively.
