THE needle encounter in last Saturday's pionship
League cricket programme was played at
the H.K.C.C., where the home team placed them-TO-NIGHT'S
selves in a strong position for premier honours PING-PONG
by scoring a decisive win by 9 wickets over last year's champions, the Kowloon Cricket Club.
Fith two such powerful batting sides selected, general! opinion had it that a draw could be the only possible result. Tom Hayward, the HK.C.C. skipper, however, won the toss, sent the visitors in and after Holden and Bowker had dismissed them for 126, the two Pearces and Nere scored the required runs in brilliant style.
The Kowloon team, after opening the season quite promis- ingly, have fallen away considerably, so that their defeat did not altogether come as a surprise. Both Finchers have been extraordinarily disappointing in their recent performances Kowloon's success in winning last year's championship was. directly attributable to their fine form.
