Having read about the local wheelchair curling teams in Northern Ireland i have been following the Paralympian team with great interest and was sorry to see they lost 6-3 to Canad at Sochi last week.

The team started very strongly against the current Paralympic champions and were 2 - 0 up at one point but in a match full of faults the Canadians pulled a clear win in the second half.

Britain's curling team next games in the round-robin stage of the tournament come against Sweden and South Korea on Sunday so i'll be cheering all the way. The thought of wheelchairs on ice presents a concern to me but the team seems to be coping nicely and the team dynamics are building all the way. Good luck !
