Burling And Rakusen Nearly Surprise Omar Brothers

Club-Mates 21-14

OPEN PAIRS SEMI-FINALS

(By "Tinker")

THOUGH the Omar brothers upheld general expectations in beating W. J. Burling and M. N. Rakuson in the semi-finals of the Open Pairs semi- finals at the Kowloon Bowling Green Club yester- day, the Civil Service C.C. pair confounded critics by the splendid opposition they provided before being eliminated 21-18.

The second semi-final also went according to "book", and H. A. Alves and F. V. V. Ribeiro entered the final at the expense of L. J. Silva and J. F. V. Ribeiro by 21-14.

These two pairs will now meet in the final which will be played at the Kowloon Football Club next Sunday at 3.30 p.m.
