In a garbled scorecard the Wandsworth versus Guyra tennis fixture shows multiple singles and doubles lines. Names such as H Tarr C Ansell B Rumming P Snape E Cockburn R McIntyre V Williams Mrs Ansell Mrs Snape Mrs Drabseh appear with varied scores like 6 2 and 6 5 and 6 3. The readable fragments suggest a mixed results ledger from several matches.
The Tenterden Rifle Club held its monthly prize shoot with entries firing at 900 yards. Conditions included a northwesterly wind, cloudy light, and variable light, resulting in scores surrounding the mid forties to mid fifties.
Fragmentary OCR lists multiple case references and scores including Ansell v H Rumming V Witten 56.5 and Tarr v V Williams P Snape 65 with other names such as Mrs Ellis Mcintyre Snape Mackenzie and Cockburn Manams Rumming. Entries appear partial and inconsistent across lines.
Guyra Club bowls at Gaye ended with tight finishes. Williams led partners in several events, Archibald and Caddy excelled, while Whiteford’s rink built a late rally. Reed and Burgess teams posted strong showings, with late ends deciding several matches and Basil Smith delivering standout bowling.
In the next round five MAMilani peers, led by Roberts, faced a close miss as the competition advanced. Details are sparse but the context implies a narrow escape from elimination and anticipation for subsequent matchups.
