Curling: Swiss mission

Edinburgh curler Colin Campbell and his team have been paired with European champion Niklas Edin of Sweden in Group D at this week’s Champery Masters in Switzerland.

Campbell, John Penny, Scott MacLeod and Aberdeen skip David Edwards trounced Edin 7-3 in the group stages of last month’s Oslo Cup, but while the Scots later exited in the quarter-finals, Edin went all the way to the final to win. Stirling’s Logan Gray and double world champion David Murdoch are Scotland’s other representatives.

Campbell and company begin their campaign on Thursday night against Switzerland’s Claudio Pescia.
