BOWLING GREEN IN FORM

By "Skip"

kept up the good form of last week and had the better of Hillon, whilst Tommy Grimes did exceptionally well as second man for Talkoo and was better than Sykes. Jim Watson's heavy woods often upset things, whilst Keown was quite as good as Lock- hart.

LEWIS IN FORM

Cralgengower bad a comfortable win against Kowloon Football Club: Alf Lewis was in excellent form against Vic Chitten- den, who did not have quite the support to be expected; Tony Lapsley as his lead was Kow-good but the next two players were off their

game.

Taikoo were expected to beat loon Bowling Green Club at Austin Road but, in spite of a win of eight shots by Jimmy Chalmers against Guy, the visitors could not quite pull it off.

Andy Morton was just beating Melrose in this game, whilst Drew and Bovaird were evenly matched. At three, Tom Stainton was in fine form and better than Atkins and this superiority turned the scales in favour of the visitors, for Guy was equal to the ever-steady Chalmers,

Bob Duncan negatived this loss by win- ning by a similar margin. He was in splen- did form and needed to be for he had a

Munro, worthy opponent in Donald

who played well for the most part but might possibly have saved when the home rink scored a couple of fives.midway through the game.

These big counts enabled the home team to take the lead after nine heads, and, hav- ing got the advantage, they retained it to the finish, despite conceding a nap hand at the 16th end.

Lockhart and Dick Keown had a strong, silent battle from which the homo skip emerged victorious by four shots. Blcknell

McNeill was the outstanding player against Younghusband's rink and seems to have found his best position as skip. Не had many chances of shining as the Kow- loon players were doing well, Joe Gibson and Eastman usually having the better of the position when they had bowled. Young- husband was useful if a trifle unlucky, but his opponent, as I have said, outshone him.

By a coincidence both Bill Field and Bill Way each had a Bill as his third man: the score card has a real end of the month look

about It The Kowloon player got to within a couple of his opponent, to show the best result for the visitors. After losing a five at the first end, his team played consistently, whilst of the home team Modi was again outstanding.

Cornell, for the Islanders and Bob Marks for the Mainland club, were, I understand; the best players on the next rink although Duncan, whom I last week credited with an honour which he did hot achieve, made a good debut as skip.

As regards the other game, I am afraid that the Kowloon team will be the only one to be mentioned in despatches as they were all over the opposition: 'Our' sympäthles go out to Walter Naef, Curr's lead, who will I

Police and Kowloon Tong had a very close game, Kew's win by a mere four settling the issue in favour of the visitors. He had. the lead against Bill Hollands all the way through a low scoring match.

Andy Wright was the saviour of his side against Harry Gittins, who, however, got home by a singleton. The Police skip had the happy knack of always being up and he got his reward, especially on the very first head when with the suburbanites lying six or ́more, he followed through one of his own woods for the first shot. And it was nominated.

Norman Mackay again played well for Tony Basto, 'who must surely have created a record by bowling a wood with the wrong blas three weeks in succession. Glendinning was good in opposition to Basto and deser- ved his single shot win. He was well sup ported by Harris, his number two.
