Despite checking every day, I've not managed to find any photographs of the England teams, so here are the Scotland team photos.




WOMEN

England look as they are on their way out, weakly succumbing 2-9 to Switzerland after only 6 ends this afternoon. They now play Australia at midnight tomorrow night and finish up against Ireland at 8pm on Thursday.

The aforementioned Irish team play their second midnight game in a row against Lithuania and finish up against the aforementioned English team at 8pm on Thursday. As tings stand, Ireland have a really good chance of qualifying for the later stages.

Scotland are due to play Finland at 8pm tomorrow and complete their group games against New Zealand on Thursday, also at 8pm. As things stand, they too have a really good chance of qualifying for the later stages.

MEN

In the midnight game Scotland finished off New Zealand by 8-1 after only 6 ends and followed that up by beating Korea, one of their closest challengers, 5-3, the game going right to the wire.

Ireland had two poor results, losing 5-8 against Wales and then by 3-8 against England. Wales then were beaten 3-7 by Portugal.

Ireland play Canada tomorrow at 4pm and finish off against Belgium at noon. Wales take on Netherlands at 8pm tomorrow to complete their games.

England play Belgium tomorrow at 8pm and finish at noon on Thursday against Portugal. Only they and Scotland have a reasonably good chance of qualifying.
