BADMINTON MATCH

ST MATTHEWS v METHODIST. AN ENJOYABLE GATHERING. Last evening the Methodist Church and St Matthew’s Church Badminton clubs met in a series of enjoyable games at the Methodist court. Friendly matches were played, the games with one or two exceptions being very closely contested, several going to advantage. The fact that both teams had some of their principal players absent made the matches interesting and close, St Matthew’s eventually winning by 7 matches to 5, or 205 points to 180. The ladies of the Methodist Club supplied a very tasty supper, and were heartily thanked, for then’ kindness. An invitation to pay a return .visit was accepted, and St Matthew’s Club members are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to repay the hospitality. The results of ,the games played were as follows (Methodist players being mentioned first in each instance): Menis doubles: Greenwood and Brader beat .Carle and Doggett 21/14; Volheim and Handyside beat Harrington and Heenan 25/20; Davies and Hoar lost to Flaws and Cameron 9/21.
