Guernsey bowlers Jason Greenslade and Ian Merrien kept their medals hopes alive at the 2026 Commonwealth Games with a 2-0 win over Malta.
The island duo moved to the top of their group on shots difference after defeating Troy Lorimer and Shaun Parnis in their fourth match.
Unbeaten rivals Malaysia - who they face in their final game on Saturday - have a game in hand in Guernsey's men's pair but face a tough test against Wales later on Friday.
The Guernsey pair recovered from a 5-0 deficit after the first two ends against Malta to win the first set 6-5 in Glasgow.
They then took a 5-0 lead in the second set which they did not relinquish as they went on to win 9-3.
Only the group winners will qualify for the knockout rounds.
"They pulled away, they did get a couple of maximum results, but it's not always going to stay like that," Merrien told BBC Guernsey.
"Even though they were 5-0 up, whether we got back into the set or not, there's always a second set and tie-break, so you've just got to keep plugging away.
"We've got to play Malaysia who are undefeated so far, but I think if we beat them we've got better sets so it's looking good, it's still in our own hands."
