THE
END Kowloon Worthy Winners Of Senior Title: Junior Play-Off Not Likely
***
AND SO WE COME to the end of another season. It is always a sad occasion to those of us who are getting on in years. To the young man it merely means a pause before they can got on to improve their game. In view of what has hap- poned since September 3 last, I think, that the cricketers in the Colony can congratulate them- solves on having kept the game alive.

It has been a scrappy season. It had to be. With practically all players doing Military work as well as their own civil jobs, the full teams could not be turned out We have managed to run the League in a regularly. reasonably satisfactory way.

WHAT MAY HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED the surprise of the evening at the Club de Recreio yesterday was the victory of H. Gillies over N. L. Smith in the Junior. Badminton Singles final, and in the senior final it appeared that there was to be a second surprise when C. Au took the first game off Patrick H. Wong. During and after the second game, however, there was little doubt as to who was to be the senior champion.
