Our boys faced the first defeat yesterday. We were up against 2 strong teams, the 3rd ranked Sweden and 4th ranked Norway, in session 7 of qualification rounds, with mixed fortunes.
We were narrowly beaten by Sweden 5-6. The match was tightly contested. It came to a draw at 5-5 at the 10th End. We lost by 1 point in the extra End.
We were resilient however, after losing in the first match of the day, we were able to beat Norway 7-5!
With these results, we are sharing the pole positions with Sweden and Great Britian which all have the same 5 wins and 1 loss record so far. But the rest of the schedule lines up with all difficult teams with the home favourite Russia, the no. 1 ranked Sweden and the 2nd ranked Great Britian all determine to gain the maximum points obviously for qualifications into the next round - the semi-finals
