OMAR BROTHERS WIN THE OPEN RINKS FINAL WITH MACHINE-LIKE EFFICIENCY

By "TOUCHER"

Functioning together with machine-like efficiency and precision, the Omar brothers collected the first of their possible four lawn bowls championships yesterday, defeating the Kitchells in the Open Rinka final, by 23 shots to 19.

For the Omars, who had won the title once bofore in 1948, yesterday's win. was a convincing and well-deserved one, The losers, appearing_together as n.com- bination in their first “big game," put up a gollant uphill fight, and though de- feated were by no means disgraced.

Apparently a little over-strung by the occasion, they played much below form yesterday as a whole, falling repeatedly into that lawn bowler's nightmare of being that yard or two short of the jack.

The Omars, after opening with a two and a four, were kept in check on the next 11 heads, the score then reaching 18-10 still in their favour. They forged ahead again' on the next four beds to 19-10, and when it when looked as if all was over, the Kitchells came back with a four on the 18th head and to five an the 20th head to narrow the score to 19-22,
