Despite suffering a semi-final defeat, Aberdeen’s Rebecca Morrison remains determined at the Le Gruyere European Championships as Scotland keep their focus on their principal target for the week.
Skip Morrison, Gina Aitken, Sophie Sinclair and Sophie Jackson had set out in Ostersund aiming to bring back a medal from their first major championship together – which they can still achieve.
The Scots fell to a heavy 11-3 semi-final defeat at the hands of Denmark, who had topped the seedings after the round-robin stage, but will now have their sights set on a bronze medal.
They face Italy, who were beaten by reigning world champions Switzerland in the other semi-final, in the bronze medal match on Friday afternoon.
Morrison was philosophical as she reflected on their semi-final setback, but made it clear that they will give their all in their final match at the event.

She said: “The Danish team played brilliantly out there.
“They didn’t miss much and were just really clinical, so at the end of the day they deserved that win there and I wish them the best of luck in the final.
“Our goal this week is to medal, though, so we’re not out of sight of that yet and we’re just really focusing on getting that bronze tomorrow now.
“Of course it’s disappointing to miss out on the gold medal match, but we’re super keen for this bronze medal game.
“It would be great to finish our week on a high by winning that, so we’re looking to go out there and just string some shots together and put on a really clinical performance.”
