Exciting Badminton Last Night

THE HONGKONG

Match

Men's Doubles Success Of

First Men's

Season For Kowloon Tong.

No more exciting finish to a league match has been seen in badminton this season than last

doubles night's men's counter between Kowloon Tong and St. Androw's "B", played on the former's court.

CD-

After securing a long lead of 4-1, Kowloon Tong faltered and it required

brillant recovery on the part of R. C. Loung ani J. M. Pong to win the eighth game and with it the match. Eventually the home team won by the odd game in nine, Peter Sin' and B. K. Weng just failing to annex the last tia of the evening, after leading 20-15.

Kowloon Tong thus scored their first victory of the season in the men's doubles, and this made club's third successive success, two mixed doubles having been won during the past week.

couple recovered! to draw up to 19-20.

Then service changed twice without nny addition to the score before the visitors snatched the one point neces- sary to give them game.

The Kowloon Toug players managed to retain this narrow udvantage after a series of fast rallies and clever shots and forged ahead to win after they had reached 18-17..

BRILLIANT ST. JOHN'S WIN St. John's accomplished their best performance of the season last evening when they entertained and defeated Recreio "B" by six games to three. The all-round strength of the Saints was well demonstrated by the fact that each pair won two games.
