AVONSIDE’S WIN UNEXPECTED

In an exciting contest, Avonside scored an unexpected victory over Celtic during the third round of the senior table tennis competition.

Avonside owed its surprise win to M. J. Flewellen, who scored wins over F. Jarman and B. T. Edwards, and to the club’s polished doubles play. Celtic’s P. J. Ives put up stern resistance, winning his three singles matches. In another close contest, Linwood beat Wallabies Green, 14-13, with matches equal at 6-all.

N. C. Orr (Linwood) gave his best display this season to win his three singles matches, including victories over the Canterbury-ranked players, R. G. Hart and J. Lelliott.

M. A. Cox gave an excellent display to win all his singles and doubles matches and thus ensure a convincing victory for Wallabies Red over University, 8-4. M. J. Cophen (University) made a further bid for the Canterbury side by beating the representatives N. B. Radford and R. J. Scott.

Selwyn I received its only serious opposition from D. J. Kalin when it beat Dallington, 9-3, while Selwyn II also proved too strong for Eagles. Avonside It games, Celtic 14 M. J. Flewellen beat F.
