Hide AdNaismith got over the shock of that defeat with an 18-shot, three-rink home win over Forton. A 19-shot win by Chris Kircher’s quartet proved crucial.
Emsworth’s eight-shot defeat at Gas Social ensured Naismith’s lead at the top went unchallenged.
While Emsworth claimed two rink wins, Alan Larcom’s quartet triumphed by 21 to swing the match Gas’s way.
Earlier in the week, Gas had lost by 26 shots at in-form Crofton, who are now just one points behind Emsworth in third place.

Finally, Phoenix lie fourth in the table after recording an impressive 17-shot win at Bridgemary.
