Wales continued their poor form this morning, albeit it to an extra end defeat by 5-6 against Poland. Even winning all their remaining games will not be enough for qualification. Things got worse this afternoon, losing 2-8 to France. They are still to win a game and could easily finish bottom of the group.
Ireland had a much better time of it with a convincing 9-3 win over Kyrgyzstan this morning, but suffered a 5-7 defeat against Ukraine this afternoon. With 2 games to go, they lie 2nd in the group on 2 wins along with India, Latvia, Chinese Taipei and Ukraine. Germany have already qualified on 5 wins, leaving only 1 place up for grabs.
As for England, they have beaten Mexico 9-8 tonight, scoring 2 shots in the last end, never being in front until then. This gives them a realistic chance of qualifying for the 2nd spot by beating Guyana, Hungary having already qualified. Guyana, HKP and Mexico can still pip them though.
Tomorrow sees the final round-robin games for all the groups.
Group A - Ireland play Chinese Taipei at 09.00 and India at 16.00.
Group B - Wales take on Jamaica at 09.00 and Austria at 16.00.
Group C - England have Guyana at 19.30 in the final session.
