Scotland's men moved to the top of the European Curling Championship standings and maintained their unbeaten record with wins over Czech Republic and Austria in Finland.

Team Mouat started their campaign on Saturday by avenging their defeat by Germany in last year's final, this time coming out 8-7 victors.

And they took that momentum into Sunday, beating the Czechs 10-5 thanks to a four in the final end and then sweeping aside Austria 7-4 with an end to spare.

Bruce Mouat, Grant Hardie, Bobby Lammie and Hammy McMillan are the only rink yet to lose in either the men's or women's competition.

"That was a good day with games we felt like we were in control of for the most of it," said skip Mouat.

"We were very happy to get over the line with the [Czech Republic] game this morning because they are a tough team who beat us in the round-robin at the Worlds last year, so we knew we were going to have to perform pretty well and are glad we got over the line.

"The Austria game then felt like we were in complete control after getting off to a 4-0 lead early on and we kept that throughout the game."

Meanwhile, Scotland's women bounced back from Saturday's losses against Turkey and Sweden with their opening win of the tournament, beating Denmark 8-4.

Team Morrison, ranked second in the world, won bronze at last year's event after a similarly rocky start.

"We're on the same win and loss record as we were at this point last year, so that's super positive," skip Sophie Jackson said.

"We know we finished the tournament strong a year ago and we'll be hoping to do that again, looking to hold onto this momentum that we've built now.

"We're a real confidence team and we drag each other forward when we're feeling good, so we'll keep hold of that and try to stay positive heading into a two-game day tomorrow."

Team Mouat take on Denmark and Switzerland on Monday, while Team Morrison face Italy and Lithuania.
