It's kind of "as you were" after this fourth round of the Kettle with the top three teams all winning and stretching away from the pack.
Brian Fleming had a good win in what was a tightish game against Karen Munro - still looking for her first points in the competition. Brian, Stuart Ronald, substitute Blair Jeffrey and lead Angela Downie all played steadily and withstood some pressure situations. He has played four and won four.
The other undefeated team in the competition, John Steven, had an altogether easier game against Andrew Galloway's team, skipped in his absence by daughter Rowena. Bragging rights stayed with dad, who won the game 10-1.
Shona Watt has only dropped one game so far in the competition and on Friday she had one of those "good game to win" struggles against Dave Munro's team. Dave was away on Province duties in Stranraer but had arranged for Jamie Rankin to take his place. Maggie Barry skipped the team and started well, but Shona, Fran Stretton, Jill Gillard and the quietly effective Louise Edwards - well, quiet in comparison to Mike for whom she was subbing! - ended up winning the game 6-5.
Finally, Jenny Barr, Katie Wood, Sarah Ford and Douglas Burns kept themselves in the hunt with a good "middle of the table" win against Niall Gunn's team. Good to see Vicky Gumley on the ice subbing for Niall.
So - a good week's curling with many a substitute out on the ice and plenty of good curling on show. Tables follow.
