Good field for Sumner squash
Even with some leading,! Canterbury squash players ' competing in the New], Zealand under-23 champion- i ships at Tauranga this weekend. the Marine Tavern Sumner open has still attracted a good entry. Heading the seedings is the former Canterbury representative, Morris Billington, who has been living and playing in Wellington since the 1974 season. The former national repre- ' sentative, Don Preston, is seeded second and a final between Lime and Billington would be a most entertaining affair. Preston, who has been living in Greymouth for four years, is a good strokeplayer and] should regain some of his]
old fitness this season now that he is back in Christchurch, with much more top match-play in store. Rex McDonald, the promising Timaru player, withdrew his entry on Tuesday when he found that he had been placed in the draw for the national colts tournament. His place at third seed will probably be taken by Lindsay Walton, with Les Plever" moving up into the No. 4 spot. Merle Holland, ranked No. 1 in Canterbury last season, has the top women’s seeding ahead of Kathy Graham, who won the recent Sockburn Open. Czesia Bowan (Temuka) and Lorna Symes I are the other seeds in the (draw of eight.
