Scots beat Denmark at World Curling Championship

Scotland improved their round-robin record at the Women's World Curling Championship to two wins and three defeats after an eventful 11-7 success against Denmark.

The Danes led 2-0 after two ends before Fay Henderson's rink took a remarkable five in the third.

A three in the seventh effectively ended the contest, which was wrapped up with an end to spare.

Scotland's other win in Calgary came against the United States, with losses to China, Turkey and Switzerland.

Team Scotland - made up of Henderson, Lisa Davie, Hailey Duff and Katie McMillan - next face Sweden.

Canada, Switzerland and Turkey lead the way with four victories, while the hosts are the only unbeaten rink in the standings.

"We played a really good game there," said Scotland skip Henderson.

"Obviously taking the fiver early on helped us being able to control the rest of the ends and see the game out.

"It's nice to get another win which definitely boosts the spirits and keeps us fighting for tomorrow.

"Going to bed on a win feels great and I think it sets the tone and the energy well."

Henderson also felt here side had underlined the threat they can pose as they reacted well to the day's previous setback.

"Earlier in the day against the Swiss we obviously didn't come away with quite the result we were looking for, but we still managed to generate a really great few ends with the hammer," she said.

"We left ourselves a great shot for three early on and to be leading at half-time was great, so I think as much it's a little bit frustrating with the outcome, we have played another great game and shown that we can generate big scores, which definitely makes us a threat."
