But Angela's luck is nothing compared to her pluck. Dogged by ill-fortune in recent years this shy, slim Devon girl has never stopped fighting to gain a place in Wimbledon's hall of fame.

PARADE

I am sure all Army sportsmen will expect me to award pride of place in this week's column to Choi Lee-keung winner of the annual walking super-marathon which gripped the imagina- tion of hundreds of thousands in the Colony last Saturday and resulted in nearly half of the entrants completing what must be one of the world's most gruelling sporting events. One cannot but admire the courage of all who completed this long trek, but for a handicapped sportsman such as Chol this was indeed a wonderful achievement, the more so when it was completed in a world of silence without the encouragement or the acclaim of the hosts of spectators lining the route.
