Midland Bank World Indoor Pairs Championship
Introduced by DAVID ICKE
The last two matches of the first round are completed today. Last year's Irish pairs champions ROBIN HORNER and DAVID GARDINER have a difficult contest against the bright young Welsh pair,

Both Irishmen are new to the TV scene and like many of their countrymen, play their bowls at the Belfast City
Indoor Club. Stephen Rees , the 26-year-old Welshman, caused an upset this season winning the UK title against David Bryant , while his partner John Price has won all the Welsh Indoor championships. All this points to a difficult match for the Irish pair.
