BOWLS PROGRAMME ESCAPE "Local Derby" Attraction At King's Park
Big Test For Kowloon F.C. In Second Division
By "Lead"
THE LAWN BOWLS LEAGUE PROGRAMME FOR TO-DAY IS A PARTICULARLY GOOD ONE AND SOME EXCELLENT MATCHES SHOULD BE SEEN IN ALL DIVISIONS.
There are several inte esting matches in First Division. First and foremost will be the meeting of the two Recreio teams-the only teams in the division, incidentally, that have not yet lost a match but although the junior team, as is always the case in a local derby, will be all out to lower the colours of their official betters, they are not likely to beat the well-balanced champions.
