The scores were level at 55-57 when the last head commenced in the Silk- stone Bradbury rink. The C.C.C. skip was then 15 shots behind but made up for his big deficit by notching 3 points and winning the game for his side.

On their own ground, the Kowloon Dock R.C. surprisingly lost to the Kowloon Bowling Green Club by five shots in a closely-contested match.
For the home team, Puncheon was in his usual good form and trounced Russell by seven points, but this mar gin was not sufficient to "carry" the other two rinks, who went under to the visitors.
Winning by 13 shots from Gray Guy's rink was largely responsible for the victory of the K.B.G.C.
The third rink was very evenly matched and it was anybody's game right to the end, Brown winning by the narrowest possible margin of one sbat
