Robin Munro and Orrin Carson made the ideal start to their first two game day at the Booster Juice World Junior Mixed Doubles in Edmonton as they ran up a 13-7 scoreline against Hungary.
The Scottish pair had gone into the day knowing they could afford no slip-ups following their defeat to China the previous day and took charge from the outset, winning last stone advantage at the opening end, where they duly scored a two.
The Hungarians responded immediately to level things at the next, but the Scots then registered a maximum six at the third, which gave them full control.
“We started with a great draw shot, which set us up really nicely for the first end, a controlled end where we got a good two on the board,” said Carson. 
“We were disappointed to lose a two back immediately, but obviously the big score of six was great and we put the foot down from there to see the game through really well.
“There have been a few sixes this week across games, but we played a really good end, made every shot and they had a few loose ones, which set us up for a nice easy shot to get the six.”
They now face Brazil in their second match of the day, looking to set up what looks set to be a winner-take-all encounter with the USA on the last day of the round-robin competition.
“We know we’ve got to win out from here, so we’ll look to continue this momentum with a win over Brazil this afternoon,” said Carson.
“If we play like that we’ll be in a really good position, so we just have to keep it going.”
Their match with Brazil gets underway at 11pm BST.
