Paul Foster MBE, and Alex Marshall MBE, defeated Paul White, and Jason Evans, of South Africa, in the Men’s Pairs. However, there wouldn’t be a semi-final place for the legendary pair as Canada won their last match to top the section.
It was a good start to the match for Foster and Marshall as they sailed into a 5-0 lead in the first three ends. The Scots built on their lead to comfortably take the first set 7-1.
The relentless charge from Foster and Marshall continued into the second set as they went 4-1 up after three ends. A 5-2 win in the second set gave the Scots pair the victory with one eye on the Canada result, but the Canadians stepped up a couple of hours later to win their match and go through to the semi-finals.
Garry Brown and Stuart Sloan booked a spot in the Para Men’s Pairs B6-B8 semi-finals after a 2-1 victory over Australia’s Damien Delgado and James Reynolds. There they met the same pair, but this time the result was reversed.
It was a difficult start for the Scots as they quickly went 6-0 behind in the first three ends. Brown and Sloan slowly dug themselves back into it at 6-2 with an end to go, but it wasn’t enough and the Australians took the first set 8-2.
Australia set about putting more distance between the pairs as they quickly went 6-0 ahead in the second set. By the end of the fourth set the Aussies were 9-0 up and that was enough to secure them a spot in the final. Scotland will play for bronze at 11:50am on Sunday.
It was the same story for Pauline and Mary Wilson in the Para Women’s Pairs B6-B8 semi-finals. They took a 2-0 victory over Louise Hoskins and Serena Bonnell of Australia but couldn’t replicate that performance in the evening’s semi-final for a chance to go for gold.
Their second meeting confirmed that Pauline and Mary Wilson will play in the Para Women’s Pairs B6-B8 bronze match after losing 2-0 to Lthe Australian pair. They take to the rink at 10.25 on Sunday morning.
In a game she needed to win, Sophie McGrouther fell short in the Women’s Singles with a 2-0 defeat to Shae Wilson of Norfolk Island. It means the Fifer misses out on the chance to play for medals.
It was not the start McGrouther wanted as she found herself 5-1 down after three ends. She pulled it back to 5-4 after five ends and then to 5-5 heading into the final end.
Wilson managed to win the last end under pressure to give Norfolk Island a 7-5 victory.
McGrouther started the second set strong and burst into a 4-0 lead after two ends, but after five ends it was level at 4-4. Wilson took a 7-4 lead going into the final end then took the set 7-5.
