Selwyn Now Certain To Win Table Tennis

R. M McCallum (Selwyn) was once again on top form and his only serious challenge came from R. G. Hart, who extended him to three games. Mrs T. May and R. J. Sanderson also played well for the championship winner and Selwyn again won the three doubles matches.
