Scotland were never in the hunt against Czech Republic, eventually losing by 4-11 after only 7 ends. More of the same followed against Switzerland, losing this time by 2-10 also after 7 ends. Losing ends of 3s and 4s in each game contributed to a dismal day's curling for the Scots.
A new day dawned today though with a spring in the step for the first day of Spring. Germany were the target and the Scottish Women found their form with an 8-5 victory to record their first win. Their evening game against unbeaten Canada has just started and every grain of confidence and ability will be tested.
Tomorrow's games are against Japan and China and are now in the must-win category.
Poor Eve. She was dumped out of the Scottish Qualification Play-offs a week after returning from Pyeongchang. Some would blame jetlag, but the truth is that Eve and her team have not been at their best recently. In the 2 Play-off games played, Eve was 1-7 down and 1-5 down after the first 3 ends, making life extremely difficult for herself. She'll get over it and it will do her no harm to realise that she has to do more than just turn up.
