Very "naturally, then, when Yorkshire wanted to play a genuine County "match, they looked to Norfolk, the "birthplace of Pilch."
About 1835, Pilch migrated to Town Malling in Kont and in 1842, to Can- terbury where (excopt for a short porlod at Oxford in 1847) he subso- quently resided until his death at the age of 67 on May 1, 1870. He played for Kent from 1836 to 1864 and won matches for that county being noted not only for his batting and flelding, but also for his Expert knowledge of the game. He was a member of the Kent XI during the same period. ал

Everything points to the Kowloon Bowling Green and Craigengower, the leading teams in both divisions of the Lawn Bowls League, scoring double successes this Saturday.
The Bowling Green seniors have to visit their neighbours, the K.C.C., but current records do not suggest an upset for the Bowling Groon.
