Taikoo seniors beat the Bowling Green Club by 27 ahota, all their rinks contributing to the victory. Russell's defeat by 21 shota (his rink scored only five shots) was a great disaster to the visitors for the difference against them on the other two rinks was only six shots. Taikoo have therefore to be still counted in the championship while Kowloon C.O and Craigengower maintain their forward march.
