  15. How did they get herepublished at 21:47 British Summer Time 6 April

    Scotland reached this evening's final by beating hosts Canada in a tense semi-final.

    Bruce Mouat's rink, who reached the last four by beating defending champions Sweden 8-7 earlier on Saturday, followed that with a 7-4 win against the Canadians.

    The Scots had been the only nation to beat Canada in the round robin in Moose Jaw, and they led 5-4 in the knockout tie after the hosts blanked the ninth end.

    The Olympic silver medallists took two in the last end, despite Canada having the hammer, to guarantee a world medal of at least the same colour.

    "I'm very proud of our performance," Mouat said, following that 7-4 victory.

    "I'm just really happy with how we went about things after a bit of a roller-coaster of a week.

    "We know the Swiss boys very well and we know they're an extremely strong team, so we're going to have to play just as well as we did today to hopefully get the win."

    Switzerland beat China 7-3 to reach the final.
