England finished their tournament disappointingly without a win to their name after losing not unexpectedly 2-9 to Norway, then 2-8 to Austria, which included a loss of 5 shots in the 4th end. This means that they are now relegated to next season's B Division to play in a Qualification Event for 2024. Once again one or two loose ends proved their undoing, but all this will turn out to be part of a learning curve to help them over the next 5 or 10 years.
Scotland's Bruce Mouat and Jennifer Dodds, on the other hand, have over 10 years' experience each, which was desperately needed as they held off a late Czech Republic fightback to squeeze through 6-5. This was to enough to qualify for the Play-off Games in 3rd place with 7 wins behind Canada and Estonia. The other Group had Japan, United States and Norway go through.
In these games Norway play Estonia and United States play Scotland, with Canada and Japan awaiting the winners in the Semi-finals.
