Wales' week of woe continued this morning with a 5-12 defeat against Jamaica, but they eventually redeemed themselves with an exciting 7-5 win against Austria this afternoon. They still finished bottom of the table along with Portugal.
Ireland made the whole day exciting, not only beating Chinese Taipei 11-7 - they were 5-0 up, then 5-7 down, but won the last 3 ends - but also India by 9-7, despite losing 5 shots in the 2nd end. Beating 2 of their closest rivals boosted the Irish into 2nd place in Group A to qualify for the last 8.
England's chances of reaching the last 8 have disappeared. For the second successive Championship, their final game is meaningless because the wrong team won this afternoon. Hong Kong's victory over Guyana meant that they qualified because of their better Draw Shot Challenge record.
I'll post the update of the England v Guyana game later tonight, plus the Play-off Draw.
