U.M. Omar Beaten By A.J. Hall On Last Head

Great Bowling In Rink Semi-Finals At Civil Service C. C.

M. R. Abbas In Final

(By "Tinkor")

IT WAS TRAGIC, indeed, that it was U. M. Omar, who, after bowling so brilliantly the whole game, was responsible on the last head for the defeat of his much favoured Craigengower rink in the Championship semi-finals at the Civil Service C.C. yesterday. A. J. Hall's Kowloon B.G.C. rink wore the victors.

In the other semi-final, M. R. Abbas and his men from the Indian R.C. scored a comfortable victory over J. Shepherd's Police four.

Scored in brief were:

L. Sykes, W. MoNeill, R. Duncan and A. J. Halt beat A. M. Omar,

K. M. Omar, B. W. Bradbury and U. M. Omar 17-16.

J. Hoosen, A. M. Rumjahın, A. R. Dallah and M. R. Aliban beat W. McLeod, W. Harris, W. S. Dall and J. Shepherd 25-18.

THE OMAR-HALL match was a close struggle from the beginning. though never at any time, until the last head, were the Bowling Green four in the tend. Both A. M. Omar and L. Sykes were steady and ful- Allied their duties by being round the jack, but the middle men of both aldes were rather patchy, especially McNeill and Duncan,

For brilliance, however, indivi- dual shots that these latter two sent down were outstanding, and on the whole they compensated for their poorer efforts,

K. M. Omar and B, W. Bradbury rendered steady help to U.M.. but in the main it was left to the great In skip to make the postilon zure. this, however, he was opposed to a 'man, A. J. Hall, who also knew a

thing or two.

There were at least three occasions when Hall bowled really brilliant woods to reverse the lie, though t must be admitted that a. "First Divi- Rion wick"

time was wasted through the ab- sence of an umpire to whom to appeal.

First string. then the tape, and finally pair of calipers which were brought all the

way from Cratgengower (during which time the game was suspended) decided it in fall's favour.

An umpire seems a necessity at these games, and one should be provided.
