Seven-A-Side Tourney Opens This Afternoon At Club Ground

By “PAK LO"

With the beginning of the Blarney Stone Seven-a-side this afternoon the last tournament of this season begins. All the games today will take place on the Club ground with the first kick- off scheduled for 4.30 p.m., and will form part of the first and second rounds, the remainder of which will take place tomorrow, with the third round to be played off on Thursday and the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final occurring on Saturday after-

noon.

This year in comparison to last year's record of 54 entries there are only 35 entrants, but it is highly un- likely there will be so many last-minute cancellations as occurred in the first rounds last season. Last year's win- ners, 72 LAA have of course left the Colony and will not be represented.

It is as usual an unenviable task to try and pick the out- right winners, but it would scern reasonable that the King's
