Brewster and Scotland slip up against Finland

Scotland had set up the final end of their game against Finland well for the win as they two sides were locked at 5-5.

But Brewster's last stone – an attempted hit and stay for one shot and victory – hit but rolled and, to add further problems, jammed on the way out.

This left the umpire to measure two other stones sitting in the 12-foot ring before eventually pointing to the Finnish stone to award them a steal of one and the 6-5 win, their first victory of the week.

"Clearly I'm disappointed," Brewster said. "We were a bit tight on time and I probably rushed my last shot and over-iced, that was all.

"I knew the jam was there and that’s why I didn't play peel eight – that's why we dropped the weight a little, and that was it."

Scotland remain joint fourth in the rankings alongside Italy and Russia, who lost to first-placed Switzerland and Sweden respectively, while Austria beat Denmark 9-3.
