Curlers from Dumfries and Galloway are going for gold in Beijing at the Winter Olympics.

Bruce Mouat’s rink, made up of Kirkgunzeon’s Grant Hardie, Stranraer duo Hammy McMillan and Bobby Lammie and alternate Ross Whyte of Dumfries, beat the USA 8-4 in their semi final yesterday afternoon.

They will take on Sweden for the gold medal tomorrow morning at 6.05am.

After going 2-0 down in the second end the Brits scored three in the third.

USA reclaimed the lead in the fourth before a crucial Mouat double gave Great Britain a 5-4 lead at the half way stage.

The tension rose after three scoreless ends but a single in the ninth and a double in the 10th sealed the win.
