World Curling championship action continues in Europe when the Le Gruyère AOP European Curling Championships 2024 are staged from 16-23 November. The B-Division will be held in the Östersund Curling Club in Sweden where 10 women’s and 16 men’s teams will take part.
The ten B-Division women’s teams are: Austria, Czechia, England, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Netherlands (promoted from C-Division), Poland, Slovenia, and Ukraine (promoted from C-Division). The Semi-finals and Final will take place on Saturday 23 November.
The sixteen B-Division men’s teams are: Belgium, Bulgaria (promoted from C-Division), Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Hungary, Ireland, Israel (promoted from C-Division), Latvia, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Türkiye, Ukraine, and Wales. These teams will play in two groups. Round-robin play gets underway on Saturday 16 November, with qualification and relegation games, followed by semi-finals being decided on Thursday 21 and Friday 22 November. The gold medal games will take place on Saturday 23 November.
England Women are regulars Hetty Garnier (Skip and Third), Anna Fowler (Vice-Skip and Fourth), Angharad Ward (Second), Lisa Farnell (Lead) and Alternate Naomi Robinson.
Ireland Men consist of John Wilson (Skip), Kyle Paradis (Third), James Russell (Second) and Craig Whyte (Lead).
Wales Men are James Pougher (Skip), Rhys Phillips (Third), Garry Coombs (Second) and Richard Pougher (Lead).
In fact, all of these players are regulars for their countries and I might have to pinch/acquire their photos from previous years' threads if I can't find any new ones.
