George McKittrick, former holder of the Pineapple Cup in Fiji, caused an upset in the City Masters' bowls tournament in Sydney when he remained unbeaten after eight rounds to take the title. He had been given little chance of success. The Pineapple Cup is the symbol of the bowls champion of the South Seas. George won this in Suva in 1951. He served in Fiji with Cable and Wireless for two terms, 1942-45, and 1949-52. He is now with Overseas Tele-Communications in Sydney.
