England Women were brushed aside 3-9 by Poland in the morning, then 4-9 by Hungary with all the damage being done in the 9th end, losing 4 shots. They are now mid-table with just 2 wins, but are only 2 wins behind the leaders.
Wales Men suffered a chastening defeat by Ukraine last night by 6-15, after being only 6-7 down with 2 ends to play. And they went from the ridiculous last night to the sublime and back again in today's games. Firstly they beat Liechenstein by 13-3 after 8 ends, only to lose to England by 2-11 after 7 ends, losing 5 shots in the 6th end in the process. This leaves them well behind with only 1 win.
Earlier the English team beat Spain 10-3, also after 7 ends, with those 2 results putting them top of Group B on 4 wins and giving them a great chance to qualify.
At the same time, a misfiring Ireland lost 4-6 against Slovakia followed by another loss against Austria after an extra end by 7-9. They are still winless and with virtually no chance of qualifying, although it is mathematically possible.
