1917-1918 We laust congratulate the Club on their latest win. They have gone through the cason with only two defeats one at the hands of Craigengower, when that side was playing at its very best; and the other at the hands of the Navy. They have played the most interesting ericket in the league. Next season we hope to see some of the matary teams coming to the front, and expect a better show from the Chinese Recreation Club.
There is still a match to be played be tween the R.E, and the R.G.A., but its result can only affect the R.E's position slightly.
