Behind Edwards, three teams share second spot: Perth's David Smith, who beat Lockerbie's Graeme Black by 7-6, defending champion Tom Brewster from Aberdeen, who had an 8-5 victory over Murrayfield's John Hamilton, and Stirling's Logan Gray, who continued his recovery from a bad start earlier in the week with a 7-4 win over Stranraer's Jay McWilliam. Just behind them, and still fighting for a place in the weekend's medal games are Lockerbie's David Murdoch and inverness's Ewan MacDonald. Murdoch went down by 4-8 to MacDonald in yesterday afternoon's session, after giving up a score of three in the first end.
