Unfortunately, Scotland Women found out they couldn't last the pace today. Firstly they lost 4-10 against unfancied Italy, despite being 4-4 after 5 ends. Then, in spite of being 6-6 after 8 ends against Denmark, they succumbed in the last 2 ends, losing 6-11.
Scotland Men kept up their winning run, by sneaking past Sweden by 8-7 in the last end. The game had been level on 3 separate occasions, but the Scots didn't need to use their last stone as they were lying a single shot by a matter of centimetres.
England Women fell into the same faults as their Scottish counterparts, as they lost 8-9 against Lithuania in their first game, despite being 8-3 up after 5 ends. They had last stone in the last 5 ends, but failed to successfully use it on each occasion. In their second game, they again lost by a single shot, losing 6-7 after an extra ens to Estonia.
In the big derby game between England Men and Ireland Men the result was in doubt all the way through, and the Irish eventually won by 10-9 after an extra end.
In yet another extremely tight game, Wales Men beat Finland 8-7 after an extra end.
