GOOD BOWLING BY

PARSONS AND DENYER

IN THE FIRST ROUND of the Small Units Knock Out Cricket Competition, Royal Engineers beat Royal Army Ser- vice Corps by 196 runs at Sookunpoo yesterday.

Feature of the match was a brilliant innings. by Sgt. Shipp, which per- formance completely overshadowed everything else. Hitting at practical- ly everything, Shipp secured no fewer than 26 fours, scored his 131 out of 186 and was undefeated at the close.

In partnership with Major Parsons sixth (9) he added 57 runs for the wicket and with Sgt. Carpenter (8), 49 for the seventh wicket.

Under the circumstances, Clarke's 4 for 35 was an exceptionally good ef- fort.

HE first of the fixtures for the Small Units Cricket K.O. Competition was decided on Sunday. The match was be tween R.A.M.C, and H.K.S.C. and contrary to all expectations Signals won by 7'wickets. They owed their success to the fine bowling of Cpl. Blount and L/Cpl. Murphy, whose analyses for the match were 5 for 20 and 5 for 14, respectively. Major Harvey and Sgt. Webb were the only two who had an answer to their wills, and, of the 57 scored. by the Medicals, these two put on 38 be- tween them, Sgt. Webb getting 21 and Major Harvey 17.

The Signals lost their star bat Capt. What man home time ago and Included a rew- comer In Sigm, Sharland. This player knocked up a useful 16 not out before the Signals innings eventually terminated. He should help the Signals team considerably. Signals will meet the winners of 40th Coy,, R.E., R.A.O.C. and "B" Coy. M/X, who fight it out in the other half of the compe-

tition.

fast three- quarter, opened the scoring for his team with a fine try instigated by Lt. Coombes and carried on by the three-quarters. The other try resulted from a forward rush by Major Curran, Edge and Minney which was eventually touched down by Maj. Curran.

Lt. Coombes converted this one.

The game was marred by rough play in the second half which resulted from one of the R.A. players being sent off through arguing with the referee. I gave a friendly warning in my notes a few weeks ago about occurrances of this nature and· once again would advise participants in any game to refrain from questioning the conduct of the referee in a belligerent manner no matter how annoying it may be.
