David Murdoch: 'Winning shot was one of my best'

Great Britain curling skip David Murdoch believes that the shot that clinched the team a place in the semi-finals is one of the best that he has ever made.

David Murdoch has said that Great Britain's match-winning shot in their curling playoff against Norway was one of his "best shots ever".

The Great Britain skip ensured that the team scored two off the final end with a double take out from his final stone, clinching a semi-final place for Team GB at the 2014 Sochi Games in the process.

The Scot told reporters: "As hard as the shot was, we just had to go for it. There was no margin for error, you couldn't be an inch wide.

"We just got everything right and it was a fantastic team effort. It will certainly go up there as one of my best shots ever.

"I just had to trust myself and have the courage to go for it. We never think about failure as a team, we only think about winning. It's a shot you don't make very often but we were confident."

Great Britain will face Sweden in the last four tomorrow.
