H.K.C.C. 2ND v. RECREIO
On their own ground, Hong Kong C.C. 2nd XI defeated Club de Recreio by eight wickets.
Consistent bowling on the part of the home team was largely respon sible for the dismissal of the Recreio for the small total of 57, Noronha with 20 to his credit being the only batsman to make a stand. Roid captured four wickets for 14 runs, Tait and Summers accounted for two each for 20 and 14 respec tively.
H.K.C.C. passed their opponents' score for the loss of two wickets and went on to make 148. Stanion (48) was the highest contributor. Lam- mert made 38 and. two others "got into double figures. Alves took six
wickets for 41. Scores:-
