ARMY WILL HAVE A JOB OF IT TAKING FULL POINTS FROM RECREIO
BY "RECORDER"
-One of the most attractive matches of the League Cricket season is due to be played tomorrow afternoon at Sookunpoo when the League leaders, Army, meet last season's League Champions, Club de Recreio. There will be an all-out battle and the Portuguese may well be the first to beat the unbeaten.

The match at Sookunpoo between Indian Recreation Club and the University should be close enough with the winner difficult to predict and the Optimists, in the Chater Road match, may give the RAF a hard fight for four points.
