A NINE SHOT VICTORY IN MATCH THAT WAS ONLY FAIRLY GOOD
WINNERS REVEAL BETTER FORM THAN THEIR OPPONENTS
(By "Sagax")
Though fully deserving their victory by a margin of nine shots, in the semi-final of the Open Lawn Bowls Pairs Championship, M. }.i Medina and J. Cavanagh, of the Craigengower C. C., did not reveal that same deadly form which! carried them into the penultimate round against F. J. Jones and A. W. Grimmitt. The winners in yesterday's match on the Kowloon Bowling Green were the better players on the day and, except for the first eight heads, they always had the lead against their opponents, S. Eccleshall and J. Shepherd.
