"WICK'S" BOWLS NOTES
A Week-end Of Surprise Results
Splendid Victory For
K.C.C. Over Indians
Set-back For Kowloon Tong
а
TWO "POSSIBLES," seven, Craigengower's smashing victory over Civil Service C.C. and Kowloon Cricket Club's clean-sweep success over the Indians at Cox's Road were the chief features of last Saturday's League programme.
Though the champions, Recreio "A", also won their match against Kowloon Docks at King's Park, they conceded a point, and, as a result, their Happy Valley rivals, Craigen- gower, are only four points behind with two matches in hand.
The Indians, who are also in the running for the champion- ship, have seriously jeopardised their prospects by their defeat at the hands of the lowly-placed K.C.C. team. The result of this match was the biggest surprise of the day.
In beating the Civil Servants, Cralgengower C.C.. on their own green, set to the lalesi aggre-
