B. W. Bradbury's Return Makes All The Difference
Recreio's Fourth Defeat
THERE SEEMS HARDLY ANY doubt now that Craigengower C.C, will annex the First Divi- sion League championship which they last won in 1936. Following the defeat of Rocroio "A" last week by the Police and their own clean-sweep succoss over Kowloon C.C., the Happy Valley mon are in an almost unassailable position.
And if Craigengower do win the championship, they will have fully deserved it. For look at their record to date. After losing the opening match of the season to Recreio "A" `at King's Park by four points to one-by, only one shot on aggregate-they have won 39 points out of the next possible 401 A great performance indeed.
