SCOTLAND - Lisa Davie, Kirsty Barr, Annabel Skuse, Ema Barr, Beth Farmer

The Scottish Women had a close game against USA, only losing 5-7 after being 5-5 with 2 ends to go. Their game against Russia was anoher close one, losing 4-7 after being 4-3 up with 2 ends to go. The Scots are competing well until they get into the final stages of the game. They are learning hard lesssons here but I'm sure it will stand them in good stead for the future. They play Japan and Sweden tomorrow with China being their final game on Friday.

The Scottish Men demolished Italy by 12-1 after only 6 ends to continue their 100% record so far. 1 win from their next 3 games should be good enough to qualify, although they are being pursued by the same 5 teams as before. They still have Switzerland to play tonight, then Norway tomorrow and USA on Friday.
