Czech Republic against Japanese women.

Matches with the women of the Land of the Rising Sun always have a touch of the exotic and unusual. We had a quite offensive to aggressive game mood, and it showed in the second end, where despite the embarrassing development in the middle we played hit and stay for a certain two and the subsequent measurement awarded us a three. We went into the break at 5 : 3 and with the advantage. Promising. In the second half we continued our good performance. We were only slowed down by a one against, which the Japanese (Yoshimura) played in the eighth end to reduce the difference to two points. However, in a strange development in the ninth end, we played a sure hit and stay for two and the Japanese girls shook our hands. Prima win (we lost to the Japanese last year).
