How about the Danes?

We started the offensive thinking that we could go a little bit over the Danish number one, who looked a bit uncertain in the slide. The beginning of the game was very even. The Danes could have gone for two twice, but Mette de Neergaard's skip failed on both occasions. In the fourth we scored a nice deuce and in the fifth the Danes helped us with the last stone to an unexpected deuce without advantage. The sixth end was all about angles. It was played with seven to nine stones in the circle and the Dane had to play more than a hundred stone to save one for her team. She did it. We, on the other hand, played against a three in the next endgame. Successfully. We went into the tenth end with a lead of four and despite one mistake, we managed to end the match in front of the Danish skip's stones. Czech Republic - Denmark 8 : 4. The win moved us to the seventh place, but the finish will be difficult. We have the Scots and the Russians. And they're up there. Here's a photo of the team preparing before the game.
