England Women started off just like their Men, losing 2-10 against Spain, but receovered later to beat Slovenia 6-5. Yesterday they had a decent game against China, slipping to a 4-7 defeat because of one slack end. Then there was a similar display this morning against Denmark, eventually going down 6-8, with another loose end. This evening's game against Qatar gives them a great chance to get back to winning ways, as Qatar has only scored 7 shots in 4 games. Unfortunately even a big win will not be good enough for England to qualify.

Scotland are looking very efficient so far, with wins over Ukraine by 11-3, New Zealand by 6-3, Mongolia by 11-1 and Hungary by 5-3. These results are good enough to guarantee qualification for tomorrow's Quarter-finals, whatever the result of their game against Austria.
