Eve Muirhead, Anna Sloan, Vicki Adams and Sarah Macintyre are just one win away from the final of the World Junior Championship in Vancouver's Olympic Centre. The Scots finished their round robin by beating the Czech Republic, and sat out the last round, waiting to see how the other games went. It was Anna Kubeskova's Czech team that was to do the Scots a favour, beating the Russians by stealing three in the tenth end. Sweden, who had not qualified for the playoffs, upset the home favourites and Anna Hasselborg's team pushed Kaitlyn Lawes' Canadians into the Page 3-4, by beating them 7-4.That left just two teams at the top of the rankings on seven wins and two losses. So, Scotland plays Switzerland in the Page 1-2 game on Friday 7 pm local time, early hours of Saturday here. Canada plays Russia in the Page 3-4. You will find the results, linescores and stats here.
