Scots duo battle on in Spain
The Scots shot a second successive three-under-par 69 in the Comunitat Valenciana-sponsored event at La Sella Resort in Dnia, Alicante, to lie in a tie for sixth place at the halfway stage.
On six-under, they are one ahead of Wales and two ahead of England, with Ireland propping up the leaderboard on three-over. However, Caitness and Matthew have nine shots to make up on Sweden after Anna Nordqvist and Sophie Gustafson propelled themselves into the lead with a sparkling second round of 62.
