We'll stay with the Joy Division to start tonight's report. Scotland's women had important wins today by 8-6 against Germany and by 10-1 against Estonia. This brings them right into contention for a last-four place and moves them ahead of both Finland and Switzerland. Scotland are currently in 3rd place on 5 wins, behind Denmark and Russia. Tomorrow's concluding games are versus Switzerland and Norway.
The English women also continue on their winning ways with a win against Austria by 9-4 and as they are already 10-3 up against France after 5 ends tonight, I'll count that as a winning lead. They will have 5 wins and have given themselves a decent chance to make the semi-finals. England complete their round-robin games against Poland tomorrow when a win might be good enough to qualify.
In the men's competition, Scotland have managed to win another game, this time by 7-3 against Finland, to move onto 2 wins. Considering that the 3rd placed teams are only on 3 wins and that 3 of the teams in the top half of the table were all beaten today, the door to the qualifying stage has been left open for someone to take advantage. Tomorrow the Scots play Italy and Russia and complete their round-robin games on Thursday against Germany.
Both England and Wales moved onto 2 wins today, England beating Austria 9-8 and Wales winning 10-8 against Hungary. It looks like it's too little, too late for both teams, though, with England playing against Slovakia tomorrow and Croatia on Thursday. Wales finish tomorrow against Lithuania.
