Scotland Beat Boo

Scotland won the Golf World Cup this weekend for the first time in its 54 year history.

Having just lost out to Germany in a play off last year, this time they clinched the title on extra holes against the US.

Colin Montgomerie and Marc Warren played superbly all week and held off the nerves to beat an unfancied American pairing of Boo Weekley and Heath Slocum.

In a hotly contested final round the French team finished a shot behind with the English pair of Justin Rose & Ian Poulter one behind them.

Guinness Back on Tap

Also this weekend the Guinness Premiership roared back into action after a lengthy European lay off.

Leicester, Gloucester, Bath and Saracens all won, but victories from Wasps and Sale stole the headlines.

Danny Cipriani led Wasps to a convincing win against Newcastle who struggled without a fly half.

And Luke McAlister stole the show on his eagerly anticipated debut for the Sharks in a comprehensive victory over Worcester.

Both Sale and Wasps should mount a strong challenge for the championship now with full squads back in place, although they will not be looking forward to the 6 Nations.
