After the first head, and up to the lGth, Shannon were leading all the way. Levin then scored a live which brought them up to 17, making the score 17 —18. Ihey then scored a two on the 17th and one on the 18th. Shannon getting a two, thereby making 20 all on the 10th head Levin retaliated with a three on the 20th head, which meant Shannon getting four to win. This they failed to do and by scoring only two they allowed the Levin x'ink to win by the narrow margin of one point. The win was, therefore, by no means an easy one, both sides contributing some very fine play from the first bowl to the last decisive head. —Chronicle.
