Revival Of Famous Horsham Italy Triumph In Davis Cup Cricket Week Advocated

By ARCHIE QUICK

The phenomenal growth of Crawley (Sussex) as a "satellite" new town has

fostered hopes of a revival of Horsham Cricket "Week”.

This green-belt lung of London has swollen from a comparative village in a few years to a community with nearly a six figure population, and those lovers of cricket who look back nostalgically on the famous "Week" hope that nearby Horsham will soon again become a centre for the county game.

Colony League Lawn Bowls STANLEY CLUB SCORE FINE 4-1 VICTORY OVER HERC IN ONLY UPSET OF THE WEEK

By ROBERT TAY

Only one upset was registered in the Colony lawn bowls league matches played on Saturday. This was in the third division when third-placed Stanley Club scored a brilliant 4-1 victory over the league-leading Hongkong Electric Club.

For the Electric Club, it was a serious setback which now jeopardises their bid for the title, as their nearest challengers, Indian Recreation Club, picked up three points from Kowloon Bowling Green Club during the weekend and are now only four points behind.
