MINIATURE RIFLES

INTERCLUB AND OTHER MATCHES

INTERESTING NOTES

(By "Trigger.")

The fourth round in the A grade in-ter-club matches was fired last week, and the shooting generally was of .a j very fair average. Some of the totals were not up to A grade form, but'still a glance at the scores will show five possibles and sev«i only one off amongst six teams. The performance put up by South Al was a, real good shoot, and the seven men only dropped nine, points. The most exciting match last week was South A 2 and Harbour Board, and the result left South A 2 winners by the narrow margin of one point. The issue was iii doubt right up to the last shut. The Railway, team shut very well m their matoh, and it seems hard that they should suffer in their total because one man is off colour, and has to shoot A pleasing feature of the mter-club matches so far this season is the keenness of ail competitors-and the utmost good feeling between the winners and losers after each match. .Last week's results : INTER-CLUB MATCHES-FOURTH ROUND. - A Grade.
