Today's results - Men - Norway 6 England 3, Czech Republic 3 Ireland 11, Scotland 6 Latvia 7.
Norway scored 3 shots in the third end to get ahead of England and stayed there in an otherwise close game. Ireland won comfortably by scoring a 3 in the first end, then another 3 in the third end to control the game. Scotland and Latvia battled it out right to the last stone, when Latvia played a spectacular shot coming in off a wide stone to score 2 shots for the win.
Finland had an interesting game against Poland in the first session, losing a 5 in the first end, but scoring a 6 in the fourth end, which demoralised the Poles, Finland winning 14-6.
Today's results - Women - Finland 6 Scotland 7, Scotland 9 Czech Republic 5.
In a really tight game, the Scots got the numbers game right, scoring 2 shots in the last end for victory over Finland. In another close game against Czech Republic, Scotland were only 1 up with 3 ends to play, but scored 3 single shots to bag their second win of the day.
Tomorrow's games
Men - England v New Zealand, Ireland v Canada, Scotland v Italy.
Women - Canada v England, Switzerland v Scotland.
Scotland are looking good at the moment, both teams having 3 wins and 1 loss. The men are joint second along with Ireland, just behind Canada who have 4 wins. The English men are in another section and have 1 win and 2 losses, but are by no means out of it. The Scots women are joint top with Sweden in one section and England have only played 2 games with 1 win and 1 loss in the other. There's a long way to go yet, so expect a few changes to come.
