MEN
In a very strange high-scoring game against Nigeria, Ireland eventually won "easily" by 15-8. They were only 7-6 ahead after 4 ends but pulled away emphatically.
Scotland had a healthy lead against Poland, but lost 3 shots in the 7th end to make life difficult for themselves, but still winning 8-5.
England lost the last 5 ends played to go down 2-8 versus Estonia and are still to put a win on the board.
Wales got their first win against Croatia, winning by 7-3 in a low-scoring game.
Tomorrow's games are Belgium v England at 07.00, Scotland v Ireland plus Finland v Wales at 15.00. Those games will sort out a lot of the Group tables before the final day's play.
WOMEN
Ireland lost out against Sweden by 4-8, although the two teams were tied at 4-4 with 2 ends to play.
In the main game of the day, England lost out against Scotland by 6-9. The final score doesn't reflect the competitiveness of the game, as the English ladies had another remarkable recovery to score 4 shots in the 7th end to tie the game at 6-6.
Denmark play England, Estonia play Ireland, then Australia play Scotland, all at 19.00 tomorrow. If the results all go our way, then both the English and Scottish teams should be favourites to progress with the Irish ladies in a good position to join them.
