Remax Women's Masters 2

Edith Loudon's team of Mairi Milne, Claire Milne and Katie Loudon made it to the final of the Remax Women's Masters in Basel when they came up against Anette Norberg's team from Sweden, the 2006 Olympic Champions. It had been a great tournament for the Loudon four but this was a game too far, Norberg got a three in the opening end and Loudon's team couldn't come back, final score 8/3 to Norberg.

Earlier today Eve Muirhead and her team suffered the same fate against Norberg putting them out of the event.

Team GB skipped by Jackie Lockhart went out earlier today as well losing to the Hasselborg team from Sweden.
