THE CHINA MAIL,
ROSSELET BROTHERS
STEAL THE SPOTLIGHT IN RINKS QUARTER-FINALS
By “TOUCHER”
The Rosselet brothers, Dick and Rene, easily stole the spotlight in the Colony Open Rinks Lawn Bowls Quarter-final matches at Recreio yesterday when they piloted their rink to a brilliant 26-24 extra-head upset win over the top-favourite Indian Recreation Club combination of Jeff Hoosen, A. K. Minu, Ismail Ali and A. M. Omar.
With KCC's Tony Lopes as lead and PRC's Bobby Laurel as their No. 2, the eventual winners not only gave a fine exhibition of good bowls but also one of the pluckiest uphill fights yet seen in the tournament.
