BADMINTON ENTHUSIASTS who had been anticipat- ing a keen match in the return fixture between University "A" and Chinese "Y" in "A" Division of the League were not disappointed..

The undergraduates won last night's match in the last game of an evening packed with thrills. So closely-contest- ed were some of the games that although a start was made punctually at 8 o'clock, the last game was not completed until 11.30.
