THRILLING LEAGUE LAWN BOWLS FINISH
K.B.G.C.'S VITAL
MATCH
STIFF HURDLES FOR C.C.C.
CIVIL SERVICE IN RUNNING
AN ANALYSIS
The senior division of the Lawn Bowls League has now reached its most interesting position of the season.
The Kowloon Bowling Green, whose rescusitation has been the feature of the 1933, com- petition, are now placed that by winning their last match they cannot be overtaken,
Craigongower will be the only! team left to challenge them and the champions must win their re- mnining two games in order to finish level on points,"
On the other hand, defeat for the Bowling Green in their four- teenth encounter would not only give Craigongower a great oppor;, tunity of winning the champion- ship outright, but would also in- vite Civil Service into struggle.
the
The remaining fixtures favour the chances of the Bowling Green, Although themselves away from home, they have a fairly easy match with Taikoo opponents.

It is too early to be able to make such an analysis in regard to the second division. Each team has to play two more matches than those in the senior division, and as the Bowling Green, present loaders, have three more to go and Cralgengower, potential winners, have five to play, one cannot make any serious forecast.
