Extreme Results Feature Saturday's Bowls Programme Rodrigues' Rink Smash Some Seasonal Records

Kowloon Dock R.C. Avoid The Relegation Bogey

By "Skip"

on

RARELY HAVE THE results of lawn bowls League games been as extreme as they were Saturday, for whilst there were seven which finished with a margin of 20 or more-I have included Re- creio's 19 in this!-seven shots or less divided the scores in six of the remaining seven games.

Owing to unfore- seen circumstances, Skip's notes on last week's Third Division bowls games will not appear.

BOWLS TEAMS

The rink skipped by A. M. Rodrigues was in the limelight by reason of beating several seasonal re- cords either for the whole League or just divisional, their score of 45 being, however, one less than last year's highest. This was secured by Bradbury who Bowls League on Saturday :— won by 38 shots.
