I've never had much time to do any research on the B-Championships being played in Lohja, Finland, since Wednesday and it's maybe just as well. England Men had a hard time of it, playing 6 games and losing all 6.
The Men's competition finished earlier today with China winning Gold, Italy Silver and Turkiye Bronze. These 3 have qualified for the A-Competition at the end of February in Fuessen, Germany. The full men’s field in qualification order is Scotland, Germany, Canada, Norway, Switzerland, United States, Korea, China, Italy and Türkiye.
The Women start their competition on Thursday and the 25 teams are divided into four groups - 3 groups of six teams and 1 group of seven teams. The round robin games run until the morning of Sunday 18 December. The quarter-finals take place on the same day in the afternoon. The semi-finals and the medal games take place on Monday 19 December. The three medal winning women’s teams qualify for the World Junior Curling Championships 2023.
The teams are from Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, Finland, Hungary, Italy, Kazakhstan, Korea, Mongolia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Poland, Qatar, Scotland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Türkiye and Ukraine. England , 3 of whom have played together for the past 4 years, should have a better chance than the Men and Scotland should have an even better chance than that to qualify with their previous experience at this level.
England are represented by Mia Andell (Skip), Annabelle Martin (Vice-Skip), Anna Howey (2nd) and Phoenix Davies (Lead) and are in Group C.
