Norway’s Skaslien to compete at Glynhill Ladies International.

27/12/09

Canada’s recent withdrawal from the Glynhill Ladies International enables Kristin Skaslien and her Norwegian team the opportunity to compete at Braehead from 15 – 17 January.

There was a healthy reserve list this year and we are delighted that Norway will once again be represented, keeping the number of participating countries at a total of 12.

Kristin Skaslien will be skipping her Norwegian team of Anneline Skarsmoen (fourth), Ingrid Stensrud (second) and Kjersti Husby (lead). The team is having a successful season, so far winning the Norwegian Championships and finishing in third place at the Curling Champions Tour Oslo Cup.

The Norwegians will replace Canada in section A and play their round-robin games against teams skipped by Anna Sidorova (Russia), Mirjam Ott (Switzerland), Kirsty Balfour (England), Judith McFarlane and Sarah Reid.

Those who watched the recent European Curling Championships may recognise Kristin who was lead for the Norwegian team skipped by Marianne Rorvik.

Kristin was delighted to accept the team’s invitation to participate at the Glynhill Ladies International, and we look forward to welcoming them to Scotland.
