BADMINTON Southland teams dominated the under 14 and 16 South Island teams’ event in Dunedin.

The under 14 Canterbury representatives, a new team with little competitive experience, finished a creditable third out of six teams. With three of the players having two or more years in this age group, the future looks promising for Canterbury junior badminton.

The under 14 team in playing order: Nicholas Hale, Graig Jorgensen, Richard Kirby, Simon Robson, Brett Chesterman: Anita Allen, Emma Saharurdin, Lauren Bassett, Anouska Van Ravenstein.

The results were: beat Nelson, 15-1; Southland 11, 15-1; West Coast, 13-3; lost to Otago, 8-8, 256 pts to 265 points; South Canterbury, 610; Southland 1, 3-13. The under 16 team: Shane Roberts, Paul Ogier, Wayne Moore, William Tipping, Marcel Van Ravenstein: Simone Doublett, Haley Turner, Nicky Flewellen, Michelle Bassett, Kylie Robson.

VOLLEYBALL The battle for the fourth qualifying place in the men's southern league volleyball championship took another turn on Saturday when Aranui-Smash downed Shirley Relics, 3-1, at Pioneer Stadium. Smash now has 20 points from 14 games and appears set to battle out fourth position with the Relics and Scorpions (Dunedin). The third placed side, Vikings (Dunedin), is not out of sight of the three teams below it and everything points to the competition being tight. Vikings has lost to both the Relics and Scorpions this season white Smash appears to be on the improve and will be a threat to all three sides immediately above it. Only the top four teams qualify for the national championships In Auckland in July. In the women’s competition Vikings, Smash, Shirley and Scorpions are battling out the qualifying spots behind the clear leader, Pioneer. Results from Dunedin games at the week-end were.— Women: Scorpions 3, Canterbury University 0; Otago University 3, Canterbury University 1; Vikings 3, Scorpions 2; Vikings 3, Canterbury University 0.

TABLE TENNIS Avonside I beat the competition leader, Linwood, 6-5, to take the lead itself in the Canterbury Table Tennis Association’s winter premier grade inter-club competition after five rounds.

The expected clash between the unbeaten Henry Redmond (Linwood) and Karl Entwistle was an anticlimax. Entwistle, after a shaky start, looked to have control and won 21-17, 21-17. His sharp angle top-spin drives were too difficult for Redmond to block effectively. Avonside raced to a 5-2 lead, but a good doubles win and a surprise win by Dave Johnston over Darren Entwistle gave Linwood a more respectable final total. Avonside now has a one point lead over Linwood, as the competition moves into the second stage.

Avonside 2 had a 10-1 win over Riccarton, moving the team closer to the leaders and ensuring Riccarton will have to play a promotionrelegation match against the top A team, Avonside 1, which has John Richards, Brian Wilson, Dave Mcßride and Bert Thompson. Matu Johnston returned from Australia and showed good support for Kevin Duffy and Lyndon White with two singles wins. In the other match Landsdowne had a narrow 6-5 win over Dallington, with Peter de Boer winning three singles. Results:— Avonside 1 6, Linwood 5. D. Entwistle st io Redmond, 10-21, 18-21; lost to B.
