Glad I missed it, Snooty, thanks to my granddaughter. The Scottish teams' attitude obviously harks back to the golden days of not doing work on the Sabbath because it's a day of rest. One of the shots the women managed to score was when Eve Muirhead drew the shot with her last stone against a count of 4, so it might have been even worse. If Eve kept the score down against Sweden, she had a poor game against Czech Republic and lost 7-8 at the last end. The others played better this time, but never quite at the standard required.

The Men fared no better in a tight game of catch-up. In the last end the Russians kept clearing out Scottish stones to limit them to 1 shot, the Scots losing 7-8.

England's Women lost a very tense game by 3-4 to Poland in the morning and later lost 6-9 against Turkey in another tight game. Their Men's team beat Lithuania 10-7 despite losing 5 shots in the 6th end and consolidated their strong position by winning 6-5 against Wales tonight.
