Women curlers sail through but men cling on to play-off lifeline

Eve Muirhead's team had two good wins yesterday to finish third in the rankings and secure a place in the medal games at Le Gruyere European Championships.

David Murdoch's men lost to France, but rallied in the evening session to defeat Sweden 9-3 and retain a chance of making the medal play-offs.

Muirhead controlled her team's first game of the day, against Latvia, from the first end, stealing two shots, followed by a single in the second.
