Scottish Curling Championships 2024: Team Craik upset Team Mouat's rink to reach final

Current men's world champions Team Mouat were beaten 9-1 by Team Craik in their semi-final

Team Craik will face Team Whyte in Saturday's men's Scottish Curling Championships final after stunning Bruce Mouat's world champion rink in the semi-final.

Skip James Craik led his side to a thumping 9-1 win over the Olympic silver medallists after just six ends.

The 2022 world junior champions will meet Ross Whyte's rink, who have a 100% record, for the gold medal.

Team Henderson will face Team Morrison in the women's final.

That encounter is a rematch of the first round of the play-offs, when Fay Henderson's team edged to a 6-5 victory.

But Rebecca Morrison's rink grabbed their second shot at glory by defeating Team Munro 7-3 in their semi-final.

Mouat, Grant Hardie, Bobby Lammie, and Hammy McMillan were defending their men's title from last year, but finished third in the round-robin standings.

The world champions defeated Kyle Waddell's rink in the first round of the play-offs, before going down to Team Craik, who took their second chance to advance to the final after losing their first knockout encounter 7-3 to fellow finalists Team Whyte, who progressed straight to the gold medal match as a result.

The women's event concludes at 11:00 GMT at the Dumfries Ice Bowl followed by the men's showpiece at 16:00.

All competing rinks at the Championships are eligible to be picked to represent Scotland at the World Championships later this year.
