It doesn't come as a big surprise to report that Scotland Women were well beaten 3-9 by Switzerland after 8 ends early this afternoon to leave them with a mountain to climb in their qualification bid. In fact they haven't even reached base camp, with Denmark and Switzerland safely through, and Germany, Italy, Norway, Sweden and Turkiye vying for the remaining two slots.
On the other hand, Scotland Men continue their winning ways, beating a stubborn Denmark team by 7-4 after 9 ends. This leaves the Scots unbeaten after 7 games and they have already qualified for the Semi-finals along with Italy who are unbeaten after 6 games. Switzerland look fairly safe on 5 wins and are trailed by Germany, Sweden and Turkiye on 3 wins.
England Women squeezed through 7-6 against Slovakia in a generally tight game. The exception being England scoring 4 shots in the 4th end and Slovakia replying with 3 shots in the 5th end. With 3 games to go they are in with a slim chance of qualifying, but there are still 6 teams above them.
England Men opened their day with a hard-fought win over Lithuania by 8-6 to stay at the top of the table.
Ireland Men slipped to a last-end defeat by 5-7 to Wales Men and lost ground to both the other home nations.
In tonight's derby match Wales Men took a 2-shot lead into the last end against England Men and succesfully held on to win 9-7, running the English team out of stones.
This means that Wales lead the table on 4 wins ahead of England and Finland on 3 wins, and Ireland, Lithuania, Slovakia and Ukraine on 2 wins. All to play for over the next 2 days.
