Scotland Men also managed to defeat Germany yesterday, this time by 10 shots to 5, but were held to 6-5 after 6 ends, before a strong finish by the Scots prompted the concession with 2 ends to go. This leaves them with 5 wins out of 5 games, ahead of Sweden on 4 wins, followed by Denmark and Norway on 3 wins.
The Women slipped badly to a surprise defeat against Italy by 7-8 this morning, mainly due to a poor start. Scotland were 1-6 down after 5 ends and although they recovered well, they always had too much to do. Only Hailey Duff at lead played up to the required standard at this level. Even after this reverse, they still lead the table with 5 wins out of 6, with Germany, Russia, Switzerland and Sweden on 4 wins.
England Men dominated the game against France last night despite losing 3 shots in the 2nd end and swept the French aside, winning 8-3. This morning they started off fairly well against Slovakia, drawing 3-3 after 5 ends but fell away in the second half of the game, eventually losing 5-9 with 1 end to go. They are still equal 1st with Austria and Turkey, all with 3 wins from 4 games.
The Women started slowly in the same morning session and were 1 down at the halfway point, but stepped up a gear to run out 10-4 winners against Slovenia with an end to play. They are still unbeaten after 6 games with Hungary and Norway on 5 wins and then Austria on 4 wins.
Wales Men recorded their second defeat yesterday, going down 4-9 to Austria after 8 ends. Again they led early on but couldn't continue their good form for the whole game. This afternoon's game against Bulgaria is beginning to look like a must-win game with only 2 games left after it. They are joined on 2 wins from 4 games by Slovakia in 4th equal place.
