IN SECOND DIVISION by far the most exciting |Tennis ing by Unit Secretaries match was that between Kowloon Bowling Green Club and Kowloon Tong at Austin Road, a bare three shots separating the teams at the finish.

Bob Duncan, quite apart from his feat in secur- ing a couple of sevens, was the hero of the game as his win by 23 shots was sufficient to carry the side to victory, despite a titanic effort by Kew's rink to snatch the points at the very last head.
