Three Records At
Norman Phillips Trophy Match
By "RECORDER”
Three records were broken at the Norman Phillips Trophy Match at the University ground at Pokfulam yesterday.
First of all, Robin Weate ran the longest distance achieved by anyone in the history of this match-four and a half miles in all in winning the half mile, one mile and three miles.
Time: 4
