Curling: Scots begin bid to make it a world title double
Scotland is represented by the five-man team that won the national Championship last month – skip David Murdoch, from Lockerbie, Aberdeen-based third Tom Brewster and a rotating three-man front end of Greg Drummond, Michael Goodfellow and Scott Andrews.
Four of these five, skipped by Brewster, were losing finalists in the last two World Men’s Championships, and this season Murdoch – a two-times world champion himself – has been brought in to try to take the squad to the top of the podium.
Scotland open their round-robin campaign against Japan in their only scheduled game today. They face Denmark and then Canada tomorrow.
