Tonight's update reveals a mixed bag for the Senior Men with Scotland 5 Australia 7, Denmark 8 Wales 1, England 11 Belgium 5 (after England were 1-5 down halfway through the game!), Norway 5 Ireland 3, Wales 5 Israel 4. None of the Men's teams have a record better than 50%.
The Women were considerably better with Latvia 5 Scotland 7, New Zealand 5 Ireland 7 (Ireland were 1-5 down with 2 ends to go !), Switzerland 10 England 2, Italy 4 Scotland 7, England 14 New Zealand 1, Ireland 7 Switzerland 12 and Latvia 5 England 6. The upshot of these results is that in Group B, Scotland and Switzerland lead with 3 wins out of 3 with England close behind on 3 wins out of 4. Ireland are on 2 wins out of 4.
Tomorrow's games for the Men are Hong Kong v Wales, England v Turkey, Slovenia v Scotland and Croatia v Ireland. The Women's games are Scotland v Ireland, England v Finland and Switzerland v Scotland. By tomorrow night we should have a much better idea of any potential non-qualifiers from the Home Nations. With a bit of luck they will do us proud and improve their overnight positions.
