HE weather conditions, prevalent yesterday did not make for good bowling so that when B. W. Bradbury and R. Duncan met in the Final of the Colony Lawn Bowls Singles Cham- pionship, on the Recreio green, the genrral opinion at the outset was that not a very high standard would be reached.
After a rather shaky start R. Duncan suddenly swang into line and, with the help of a "four" on the 18th head, overhauled his opponent and ended the game on the 22nd head four shots up. at 23-17.
