2018 European Curling Championships

At last the Scottish Women came out with all guns blazing to overcome Germany 9-2 after only 8 ends, to give them a chance to redeem themselves. The team got an excellent overall 95% score in that game, but they fell away again in the next game with a percentage score of 78%, losing 7-8 against Russia in a very competitive game. They are just outside the qualification places and must defeat unbeaten Switzerland tomorrow and hope that Sweden beat Germany. Switzerland, Sweden and Russia are the 3 certain qualifiers.

The Scottish Mens' team had an exciting game against unbeaten Sweden, losing 8-9 after a loss of 3 shots in the last end. Despite this the Scots have qualified for the last four along with Sweden and Italy with one session still to play. The other qualifier will be Germany, Norway or Switzerland.

The England Womens' team are giving a great account of themselves, continuing their push for qualification with a 6-2 win over Slovakia. Unfortunately for them they had one bad end against Hungary, losing a 3 in the 7th end, to lose 4-5 this evening. They still sit in 3rd place tied with Estonia, both behind Norway and Turkey who have already qualified and they will also qualify with a win tomorrow. A loss and it's all in the lap of the gods depending on other results.

England's Men got off to a terrible start in their game against Israel, losing 7 shots in the first 2 ends, and eventually losing 8-10 despite a valiant fightback to be only 1 down coming into the last end. They are holding on to first position with 4 wins, albeit joined by Belarus and Denmark.
