The Winner Takes It All
And the winner of the Men's competition issssss..................hold for five seconds.............SCOTLAND. They trounced Germany in a one-sided final by 7-1 to win Gold after only 8 ends. Regular readers will have seen me mention the German player, Andy Kapp. This time he is the coach and his son, Benjamin, is the skip. Scotland and Germany have been the stand-out teams all week and fully deserve their success.
After claiming the World Junior title, Scotland skip James Craik said, “It feels pretty crazy right now, I don’t really believe it just now. I’m just so proud of the boys. They came out and shot the lights out there and played so well. That was one of our most clinical performances.” Reflecting on the entire tournament, he added, “Our week was perfect. I’m so over the moon. We had a great time here in Sweden, it was just fantastic. I couldn’t be prouder of the guys and all the team behind us and we’re just so thankful.”
