The winner will face either USA or Sweden
12th October update
Last 3 games in the section have been played , not the highest quality but the results were all we required. Now we need to get a favourable draw in the last 16 . Canada, Sweden, Czech and USA all look good and,Korea, China, Russia are all professional teams ,so lots of danger ahead, fingers crossed.
10th October - latest from Gavin and Jean
Win against Denmark puts Scotland back on track. Earlier, after we dominated most of the game against Korea, Grant's last hit cleared everything in the house except a Korean red and the first defeat was delivered, but still pleased with the performance against one of the pro teams.
8th October
Scotland started their campaign yesterday with a 9-7 victory over Spain and followed that with a 9-2 win against Ireland. A score of three in end 3 folllowed by a steal of 2 in end 4 set up the win.
