Thursday's results
A Division
MEN - Scotland 5 Netherlands 2 (Scotland controlled the second half of a very tight, high quality game keeping last stone by blanking 4 consecutive ends until the very last, scoring 2 with a takeout with the last stone, when Netherlands were lying shot)
WOMEN - Hungary 3 Scotland 9 (While not at their best the Scots controlled the game, finishing with 4 shots in the 8th and final end)
Everything fell into place for the Scottish Men this morning. They won, Norway beat Germany and Netherlands lost their game, leaving Sweden, Switzerland, Scotland and Norway as the 4 Semi-finalists. Things got even better in the Semi-final against Switzerland, with the Scots having last stone on the last end, scoring 2 shots to win 9-8 with a 2 perfect draw shots. Sweden had an easier game against Norway, winning 8-3.Both today's games went right to the wire, with Kyle Smith playing high pressure shots for the vital wins and guaranteeing Scotland a Medal - a great performance.
B Division
MEN - Wales 4 Turkey 10 (Even though Wales scored end for end they were outscored each time) and England 3 Latvia 6 (England were in the game up to the 5th end, but lost the next 3 ends)
Wales finished with 2 wins out of 7 games to finish 6th in Group B and England had exactly the same playing record but managed to finish 5th in Group A. Very disappointing, but perhaps not a big surprise.
