Your support makes all the difference.Wales, who are attempting to bridge a 16-year gap since their last home international indoor championship, made an excellent start in Ballymoney yesterday when they beat the defending champions, Scotland.
The Scots, chasing a record seventh successive title, forged into a 60- 57 halfway lead, but Wales then recovered and moved 95-78 ahead with 15 of the scheduled 21 ends completed. The Scots rallied over the last quarter, but Wales held on for their eight-shot victory.
"I am disappointed, but not despondent - we can still win it," the Scottish team-manager, John Summers, said.
The toast of the Welsh camp was Robert Weale, who guided his rink to a crushing a 38-10 win over Robert Provan. John Price added a 21-15 win against Richard Corsie and Jason Greenslade edged out Graham Robertson 21-19.
