North Yorkshire's Emma Duggleby surged impressively into the match-play knockout stages of the English Women's Amateur Golf Championship at Aldeburgh.

Duggleby, who plays for Malton and Norton GC, finished second of the 32 qualifiers who went into today's match-play stages after the two strokeplay rounds at the Suffolk-based course. She posted a two-under 70 to add to her opening 75 for a 145 total, four adrift of Kent's Nicola Timmins.

Also through to the match-play rounds, which culminate in the final on Saturday, are Ganton duo Naomi Edwards (74 76) and Sara Garbutt (78 74) plus Katie Dobson, of The Oaks, who shot 82 79.
