In the "C" Division the Recreio registered their ninth success of the season when they entertained the Kowloon Indians, who play. ed the match without the services of their third pair, who failed to make an appearance. The Kowloon C.C. registered their first win after six consecutive defeats when they narrowly beat the Radio by 5 sets to 4.
