YESTERDAY'S “B” DIV. TENNIS
Craigengower made the critics bite their words yesterday when they upset all predictions by beating the potential championship-winning K.C.C. team in a "B" division tennis league match by 62 sets to 22. The more achievement was all the more creditable in view of the fact
that the match was played on the K.C.C. courts.
