SCOTLAND - Ryan McCormack, Euan Kyle, James Craik, Duncan McFadzean and Ross Whyte

Scotland qualified for the Men's Semi-finals with 2 games to play, after their 8-6 win over Switzerland. Strangely they only scored in 2 ends compared to Switzerland scoring in 5 of them, the most important of the two being a spectacular double take-out by Ross Whyte in the 8th end for 5 shots. Today's game saw them dispose of Norway by 9-4, Scotland doing all the damage in the second half of the game. Canada also qualified with 1 game still to play after defeating Sweden 9-5. Three teams - Norway, Switzerland and USA - are tied on 5 wins with New Zealand lurking behind on 4 wins and all still have a chance to qualify for the Semi-finals.

Unfortunately the Scottish Women are still looking for their second win after losing 4-10 to Japan and are unlikely to avoid relegation to the B Division for next year.
