Unfortunately the England Men suffered another defeat early this morning, losing 4-8 to Switzerland to finish in 7th position on 1 win.
At the other end of the scale Ireland Men won the first 5 ends to run out comfortable winners over Norway by 7-4 to secure 2nd place on 6 wins.
Scotland Men finished on a high with a comfortable 8-3 victory over Slovenia. Somewhat amazingly this was good enough to hand the Scots a qualification spot in 3rd place as only Czech Republic, of the teams mentioned last night, equalled the Scots. Scotland's superior Draw Shot Challenge edged out the others, all with 4 wins as well.
Wales Men were beaten 3-8 by United States to end their group in 6th position with 2 wins.
The Men's Quarter-finals are Canada v Ireland, United States v Czech Republic, Sweden v Scotland and Hungary v Switzerland.
The Women had extreme results this morning. England suffered another defeat, this time to Canada by 2-9. Losing 5 shots in the 1st end made an already difficult game impossible and they finished in 5th place in Group A on 2 wins.
Ireland sneaked through against Australia 5-4 in a cliff-hanger ending to end in 3rd place on 4 wins to qualify in Group B.
Scotland absolutely demolished Finland by 18-1. They scored 7 shots in the 3rd end and 6 shots in the 6th end to complete the Round-robin unbeaten on 6 wins and qualifying directly to the Semi-finals along with Canada from Group A.
The Play-off Games are Japan v Ireland and Sweden v Switzerland
