Craigengower's Score Of 103 Ranks Best In Amazing

FORREST MAKES PROMISING DEBUT IN SENIOR LEAGUE

WHAT A FEAST FOR THE STATISTICIAN WAS LAST SATUR- DAY'S LAWN BOWLS PROGRAMME, WITH RECORDS ENOUGH TO A SATISFY THE MOST GREEDY OF THEM! TWO “POSSIBLES," TOTAL OF OVER A HUNDRED IN A MATCH AND A CONSEQUENT HUGE WIN, THE LOWEST AND HIGHEST RINK AGGREGATES, THE BIGGEST RINK WIN! MOST OF WHICH WILL STAND, I IMAGINE. E. KERN'S K.F.C.

I can recollect only one other oc- casion when that total has been reached, and if memory serves me aright, it was this same club which achieved the feat, but I cannot say in which division of the League.
The losers were so overwhelmed That it would not be kind to elaborate the detall, but it is only just to sav that the winners were plaving right at the top of their form. Bradbury had the lion's share of the points, winning
