WINTER TENNIS

North Linwood Wins Again

North Linwood had to fight hard to maintain its unbeaten record when the Canterbury Lawn Tennis Association’s winter competition was continued on Saturday. The Woolston team provided unexpectedly stiff opposition, and was beaten by only 8 sets to 6, after the match had been evened at 3-3. If Woolston had not been forced to default one singles match, the team might have won. The Cathedral team has withdrawn from the competition. For several weeks it has had difficulty in fielding a full side, and it has not won. After six rounds, points are:—North Linwood 6, Waimairi 4, Woolston 4, Avonside 4, Opawa 3, Elmwood 2, Ellesmere 0. Results were :• Waimairi v. Avonside Singles.—W. Thom lost to F.
