Leonard, the Cralgengower Calford Bridge Cricket Club player makes his quest to reach for the first time in his career, the semi- final stage of the open singles tennis championship.
Ho Ka-lau is the opposition, and well as Leonard has been playing this year, one hesitates seriously to consider the likelihood of his defeating the Chinese exponent.
Conditions will again be un favourable, but I was informed this morning that if the rain which threatens, holds off, the match will be played.
If Ho Kalau strikes normal form, Leonard will probably be deceived by the accuracy of his placements, and he is almost cer- tain to find himself up against a sustained net attack.
