This game was played in a very tight manner over the first 20 ends, with Hunt leading 23-16.
With the Wilson green running well, the dimensions of the game changed rapidly over the next 11 ends.
Whatever Hunt had in his drink bottle worked as he won the whole of the last eleven ends, piling on a massive 23 shots to win 46-16.
That gave the triples team of Ian Crow, Stephen Della and Dugald Braithwaite a huge boost on the leaderboard and in their match against Brian Bailey, Andy Connor and Alistair McGhee, they appeared to be always in control of their game.
Trailing 20-15 with one end to play, team McGhee put a spanner in the works by scoring six shots to get up 21-20, but bar a shock defeat, they are the likely winners of the shield as they opened a huge gap as new leaders.
