Scotland Women got the show back on the road again with a convincing 9-1 win over Czech Republic, the Czechs conceding after the 7th end. With 3 more games to go, they should qualify if they secure 1 more win. Tomorrow sees them play a tough-looking Switzerland, who are hot on their heels with 1 less win than the Scots.
The Men had a really nerve-wracking game against Denmark which they won 9-8, being taken all the way to the last stone. They were 5-6 down after 6 ends, but scored 2 shots, then 3 in the following 2 ends to build a lead of 4 shots. Denmark then scored 2 shots and were lying 2 shots in the last end, forcing Bruce Mouat to take one out to win the game. The Men also need 1 more win to be almost certain to qualify with 4 games still to play, 2 wins to be certain. They have 2 games tomorrow against Switzerland and Czech Republic, both potential banana skins.
England Women eventually beat Austria 9-8 after an extra end in the last few minutes to continue their 100% record. In a very tight game early on England led by 3-2 after 6 ends, but then the game opened up and the 10-end score finished 7-7. With this victory they are the first team to qualify for the later stages with 2 games still to play, probably along with Hungary and Norway. Austria, Latvia and Lithuania are the teams fighting it out for the remaining slot. England now play Norway tomorrow afternoon.
The Men take on Slovenia tomorrow and are currently joint leaders alongside Austria and Turkey with 3 wins from 4.
Wales Men stood up to the task against Bulgaria, winning 7-3 with an end to play. Wales are also on 3 wins, but from 5 games, and play Slovakia in their penultimate game tomorrow.
