Amazingly enough, the Seniors competition starts after the Opening Ceremony and Welcome Reception on Saturday! You can trust the oldies to get the sequence correct.
The English Senior Women curl at the Border Ice Rink, so I have a special interest in their progress. Last year they did very well and hopefully they will produce a similar, if not better, performance. Come on England!!! (did I really say that?)
