A junior women's curling team from Chester is sliding into the world championships in a very good position. 

"We're currently 9-0 for the round robins, so it's great to be going into playoffs undefeated," said 17-year-old skip Mary Fay. 

Fay said there's still a long way to go, and a couple of tough games ahead. 

The team is playing the U.S. on Saturday. 

If the team wins, it will go straight to finals. If not, semifinals. 

For Fay, it took a lot of dedication to get to Denmark

"I started when I was eight years old and its just been years and years of practice and hard work that's got us here and this year's been a solid year. So I think all of that combined has got us to where we are today."
