"WICK'S" BOWLS
Disastrous Week-end For Club de
Thrilling Climax To Champions-K.B.G.C. 'A' Game
Bad Year For Kowloon C.C.
SATURDAY LAST was a sorry 'day for Club de Recreio. Three of their four teams in the Lawn Bowls League were defeated, and to make things even worse, the "B" team in the First Division, until then undefeated, went down badly to Craigengower C.C. at Happy Valley, losing on all three rinks. The Portuguese have not had such a bad weck-end for a long time.
Last week also saw the first "possible" of the season be- ing scored. To W. J. Howard's Kowloon Tong rink fell the honour, their victims being W. J. Bagley's Prison Officers' rink. In addition to this eight, A. J. Häll (K.B.G.C. "A") and K. C. Hamilton (K.B.G.C.) each scored a seven during the after-
noon.
In the big match of the day, between Kowloon B.G.C. “A”|......‹ and Club de Recreio “A”, atļ Austin Road, everything pointed to a comfortable victory for the champions until the last three hends.
Adam Holland and “Spuggy" Sliva Anished their game three heads faster than the others-they made a tie of It-and the scores then were 21-14 In R. F, Luz's favour against A. J. Hal and·17-10 In C. G. Silva'n favour against J. McKelvie. With o lend of 14'shots, it looked odds on the
Portuguese team winning by 41% points to
But there was a complete trans- formation on the 19th head when Hall's rink, by persistent drawing, cored a seven. It was not a head over which to enthuse; the first two or three shots were about two feet away from the kitty and the rest were strung out from three to six feet.
Luz, however, was blocked by some badly-placed front woods and failed to alter the position, "whereas | Hall, by playing on his own woods, added to the count with both his shois.
