McVeigh still in medal mix

DANIELLE McVEIGH faces a mammoth task over the next two days to lift the European Ladies Amateur Team title at Falsterbo in Sweden — but she is still very much in contention for a medal.

The 21-year-old returned a second successive four over par 75 yesterday for a 54-hole aggregate of 220 — and she lies just outside the medal positions in joint fourth spot.

Swedish ace Caroline Hedwall spread-eagled the field with a sensational five under par 66, the lowest score of the week — and she swept into a five stroke advantage with just one round remaining.
