England's Men took control of their game against Spain after the halfway stage and ran out convincing winners by 8-3 to secure their Quarter-final place. Unfortunately, in that game they were never in front against Italy, eventually losing 2-9. The other games resulted in wins for New Zealand (6-4 against Russia), China (7-4 against France) and Korea (5-4 against Turkey after an extra end). Tomorrow morning's Semi-finals are Korea v Italy and China v New Zealand.
In the Women's Quarter-finals, England fell to a 5-10 defeat by Russia to end their tournament. In the other games, Scotland beat Germany 7-4, Japan beat Poland 7-5 and Hungary beat Denmark 3-2, by scoring single shots in the last 3 ends after no shots were scored in the first 3 ends. Tomorrow morning's Semi-finals are Russia v Hungary and Scotland v Japan.
In both Championships, the winners will play in the Gold/Silver games and losers in the Bronze/SFA games in the afternoon. The 3 Medallists will then qualify for the main Championships in February.
Amazingly enough, I came across these photos of the English and Scottish Juniors by accident on Facebook.

As far as names are concerned, your guess is as good as mine. The only one I know is Amy Bryce of Kelso who is on the far right in the Scottish team. If you think they look young, you should see some of the other teams, who have players who look as though they are yet to reach their teens!
