Following are the results of matches played in the Rugby League yesterday:
An extremely high standard of play was produced in this encounter with both players laying their woods well on the kitty for closely-packed ends. Had Aitkenhead maintained his sparkling form which he displayed in the earlier stages of the match he might have obtained a highly impressive triumph. As it was, his efforts began to tell on him and Sequeii was able to give him some stiff opposition.
Despite his adversary's disconcerting lead on the early ends, Sequeira was playing steadily throughout and biding his time. He made a fine lly and tied the score 13-13 on the 17th end, and thereafter it was anybody's game. Two threes on 23rd and 24th ends put the Portuguese player ahead for the first time by 20-18.
Sequeira lost on the measure on the next head with the result that Aitkenhead steadied his play to take the championship with a single and a double on the next two ends.
The closeness of the game may be judged from the fact that the score was tied on less than five ends and that only singles and double were registered throughout the entire contest.
