Qualifiers at the Glynhill

What an interesting day it has been at the Glynhill Ladies International at Braehead! Kelly Scott's world curling champs failed to qualify. All the results are here.

But who did get through? It took two tiebreakers, but the lineup for the quarterfinals Sunday 08:00 is:

Privivkova v Wood
Hasselborg v Howard
Reid v Loudon
Munro v Muirhead

More pics tomorrow, hopefully.

Weekend preview 1: Berne Ladies

Kelly Wood (photo below), Claire Milne and Sarah Reid are the three Scottish teams in the draw for the Bernese Ladies Cup competition this weekend. The WCT-e event is a thirty-two team triple knockout. The first round draw is here.

Sheila Swan substitutes for Alison Black in the Reid team for this event.

Four Canadian teams will be in Switzerland for the Berne competition, and Kelly Scott, the world champs, will stay on in Europe for the Glynhill Ladies International at Braehead, January 18-20. So too will Moe Meguro's Japanese side who are already qualified for the World Championships in Vernon in March.

Incidentally, photos of all the teams taking part in the Glynhill Invitation at Braehead are now on the event website here.

World Champions for Braehead

Kelly Scott's World Champions from Canada have accepted an invitation to play in the Glynhill Ladies International event at Braehead, January 17-20, 2008. Scott and her team were Canadian Champions in 2006 and 2007, and won the world title in Aomori, Japan, in March. The Canadians only lost one game at Aomori, in the round robin to Scotland's Kelly Wood team, who brought home the bronze medals. The Scottish Champions will also play at Braehead.
