Garrison Sergeants Win Trophy R.A.M.C, Beaten in Snooker

Tournament The final tie of the local British Service Units Knock-out Snooker Tournament for the silver trophy presented by the Union Jack Club, was played on Friday evening in the Club premises, the competing teams being the Garrison Sergeants' Mess and the R-A.M.C. Junior Ranks.

Six singles and three doubles were played off, the ultimate result depending on the last encounter of the evening, which was closely won by the Sergeants representatives to give the Garrison Sergeants' Mess possession of the cup.

Some very keen struggles were witnessed, the majority of matches finishing with few points either way. First cne side would get into the lead, and then the other and thus the struggle continued until the final clash brought together Church and Deveau of the-yHuwcsao Gorp CLus v. S'nar Gorr CLuB Sergeants and Bailey and Lewis from the Medicals. The players seemed to realize the importance of the occasion for the issue was in doubt almost to the end, but the first named pair potted two of the last three colours to clinch the game and match.
