Five out of the eight events of the Colony Bad- minton Championships are now in their semi- final stages as a result of the week's games. Seven quarter-final fixtures on Monday and Tues- day will bring the three remaining events into line, setting the stage for the 16 semi-finals, which I understand will be played off at the rate of four a night, on March 28 to March 31.
