SWANSEA bantam Peter Harris turned in a sparkling
performance to stop Southern Area bantam champ Johnny
Dorey, of Eltham, in the sixth of a scheduled eight

And two of the Senior Service losers, Colin Day and
Brian Kearney, looked decidedly unlucky.
Day, who has so delighted Portsmouth fans this season,
