Edgefold No1 maintained their unbeaten run with a 4-1 victory at Crich Comrades.
Rob Muxlow and Duncan Harwood put the visitors two to the good before a black ball victory for Steve Burton made sure of success.
Tommy Smith added the next before the Tramwaymen got on the board in the concluding doubles thanks to a 63-55 verdict for Jack Long and Ade Smith.
Bolehill Institute remained six points adrift after they defeated Edgefold No3 4-1 though both Ians, Doe and Birks came through tough battles with the former fluking a re-spotted black and latter eventually winning on the pink after lots of drama with the black hanging over a corner pocket.
