Annabel, who was runner-up in last week's South Atlantic Amateur Championship (The Sally), is the No 5 seed this week and she beat the No 11 qualifier Connie Isler by 5 and 3 today.

Miss Dimmock now plays the No 1 seed, Florida teenager Marisa Messana who beat the No 8 seed Ashley Malinchak by two holes.

The other semi-final will feature the No 2 seed, Brittany Fan, conqueror by one hole of former US Curtis Cup player Meghan Stasi - winner of the Harder Hall Invitational at the start of the month -  and the No 3 seed, Isabella DiLisio.

The last named beat Chloe Rogers (Braintree GC, Essex) by 4 and 3. Chloe, the No 6 seed, won a bronze medal at last summer's Olympic Games in London as a member of the Great Britain women's hockey team.
