Army-RAF Match At Sookunpoo Should Be A Close Struggle
The hoskey programme for the First Division of the Men's League the Sunday offers some interesting matches. For the enthusiast probably the best match to watch will be the Army v RAF at Sookunpoo, where there will almost certainly be a display of first class hockey between two very closely matched teams,
In the League standings they are struggling with each other for the fourth position, and as their last match ended in a draw, the result is anybody's guess, but being the Army's home ground, I think they have a slight edge on their opponents.

The best matsh in the Junior Division should be, without doubt, Nav Bhara: v Recreio "B" at Boundary St. Although. these teams lie 5th and 1st res- pretively in the league stand- ings, there are, for an equal number of malches played, only three points between them. In their previous meeting Recreio just won 1-0, but Nav Bharet are a very steady and consistent team, and this match thould be a very close thing.

Displaying # strong back- hand, Fyler scored repeatedly with

His best scoring stroke, how- ever, was a beautiful low, drop shat to the corner that just skimmed the board and fell barely inches from the wall.
In his drives and lobs to the buckwall, Fyler found his length from the very start of the game, and was more successful than his opponent in retrieving the shots along the wall.
