BOWLS SEASON CLOSES
HONGKONG ACCOUNTS FOR KOWLOON. IN AITKENHEAD SHIELD MATCH
PRIZES PRESENTED AT DINNER The official Lawn Bowls Season for 1934 was concluded on Saturday when the Aitkenhead Shield Competition was played between Hongkong and Kowloon in the afternoon, and an Association dinner held in the evening at which all the prizes won during the season were distributed.
Hongkong bowlers repeated last year's performance by defeating Kowloon by 44 shots on the greens of the Kowloon Bowling Green Club. Some good bowling was seen, but the Island rinks won the majority of the matches.
The dinner was held in the hall of the Kowloon Cricket Club, and was presided over by Mr. II. E. Maughan, President of the Hongkong Lawn Bowls Association. Supporting him were Mr. H. Hampion (Hon. Secretary), and Mr. G. E. F. Thompson (Hon. Treasurer).
The prizes were given away by Hon. Mr. Justice R. E. Lindsell, President of the Kowloon Cricket Club,
