WOMEN
England eventually cruised through 10-3 against Slovenia this morning after a slow start. They were tied at 3-3 after 5 ends, but turned on the after-burners to pull away. Tonight England had a comfortable 11-3 win over Slovakia to move on to 5 wins, just behind Hungary, Latvia and Lithuania on 6 wins and Poland on 7 wins. They have a good chance to finish on 6 wins after tomorrow's games, and as Latvia and Lithuania play each other in the final game, one of them will stay on 6 wins. England are the probable outsiders, but still have a chance of qualifying, depending on other results.
MEN
It was just as well England had already qualified because they were royally thumped after 8 ends 11-3 by Austria, who leapfrogged them into 1st place. England were outgunned for most of the game, only scoring 3 single shots.
Wales and Ireland had a ding-dong battle, with the Welsh just hanging on to win by 7-6. They have now gathered 3 wins, the same as Slovakia and Ukraine, behind Spain on 4 wins. Wales are in with a credible chance of qualifying in their final game against Spain, but they must win to overtake Spain in the table.
