BOWLS CHAMPION DEFEATED IN SPLENDID MATCH
ISSUE OPEN UP TO LAST WOOD OF THE MATCH B. W. Bradbury's Valiant Fight Against U. M. Omar
(By "Abc")
No finer game could have been wished for than the third round meeting on the Civil Service C.C. green yesterday between B. W. Bradbury (holder) and U. M. Omar (former champion) in the third round of the Open Bowls singles championship.
Omar finally won by the narrow margin of 21-19, but even with the last wood of the match the 'result might have gone the other way. Loading 20-19 and lying one. Omar would have lost the game if Brud- bury had succeeded in cillier pushing Omar's that wood through or troil- ing the Jack a few inches. The champion was having free seconds, but he was a tride too benvy.
It was a fitting ending to what had been a splendid game all through. Twice Bradbury had a chance of winning the match, only to ser Omar pull the game out of the fire on each occusion. But he could not complain, for there was no suggestion whatever of anything "Yluky" about Omar's shots.
On the 26th head; when Omar was feuding 19-18, Bradbury had four beauties for game, but Omor played a perefet last wood to draw for wrond shot to keep the match alive. It was a splendid" effort just when
all seemed lost, as he had to go up on a difficult hand.
