Battle Back, Soldier On, curling
Hello this is Jane Janes on the ground in Vancouver day one of Battle Back vs. the Canadian Soldier On and we've taken on the curlers I'm gonna hand you over to Martin Colclough he's gonna give you a brief match report and most importantly the scores. I really don't know what I'm talking about as far as curling is concerned but if you want a quick standby the British team performs superbly on day one. Having never played curling before they set the standard by gonna get least one stone in the house on the first end which went to us that was matched quickly by Canadians on the second end but we came fighting back on the third and beat Canadians 2, 1. So that's about it really it's a good start we got a sledge hockey tomorrow and I think that's what the guys are really looking forward to so a good start for battle back and we're hope to continue that same in the same thing tomorrow. Thank you Martin.
