Oh, but only four titled opponents. That's a pity.

England 1 secured a silver medal when Gary Clark (England 2) held a difficult ending against their key rival Iceland 1. This completed a great day for England Women, who had their contenders from China being whitewashed by England 1 That opened the door for them to grab the Womens gold. (China's minder was not amused.)
England 1 65+ also got silver
England 1 65+ also got silver
