Taylor Greechan has won just one match in his first Commonwealth Games
Meanwhile Taylor Greechan's hopes of progressing in the men's singles bowls are over after he lost a third match out of four.
The islander lost on a tie-break to Namibia's Waylon Wentzel on Sunday morning.
Greechan had won the first set 8-3, but was comprehensively beaten 9-2 in the second set before losing a deciding tie-breaker 1-0.
He is sixth in his group as he prepares to face Guernsey's former World Indoor champion Jason Greenslade and Australia's unbeaten group leader Aaron Wilson on Monday.
However, women's pair Fiona Archibald and Sara Douglas got a second victory at the Commonwealth Games as they convincingly beat the Cook Islands.
The Jersey duo were never behind in the game as they took the first set 7-2 before an impressive 12-1 victory in the second set - six shots in the third end helped seal the win.
They are fourth in their pool and unable to make the knockout stages ahead of their final game against winless Falkland Islands on Monday.
