By
"TOUCHER"
One major upset, one racord win and one exceptionally fine game formed the highlights of yesterday's opening games of the Colony Open Singles Lawn Bowls Championships.
The greatest upset of the day and the only one in the 15 matches played was the defeat of Hongkong's Empire Games representative and 1955 Singles Champion, Eric Liddell, who went down to H. Black of Hongkong Football Club by 11-21.

Although the 1 Northamptonshire Regiment have left us, their many friends in the Colony will, I feel sure, welconie a review of their sporting activities immediately prior to their departure.
They remain in my memory mainly for their love of boxing and I well remember visiting them at Fanling to see their novices' competition. Bout followed bout and I felt toward the end of the last evening's boxing that they had worked through every member of the battalion and had started borrowing men from nearby units.
