Club-Services Match Ends In A Tame Anti-Climax
By
“THE ZOMBIE”
The annual two-day cricket match hetween the Hongkong Cricket Club and the Combined Services at Chater Road ended in a tame anti-climax yesterday.
Left with the almost impossible task of scoring 23 runs in one six-bail over, the Services could only muster nine runs for the loss of one wicket and had to be content with a draw.
