THE CHINA MAIL, JANUARY 11, 1941.. TO-DAY'S CRICKET

SENIOR LEAGUE OPENS WITH SOME INTERESTING FIXTURES K.C.C. Should Beat C.C.C. But Can Take No Chances

UNIVERSITY EXPECTED ......................................................

TO DO WELL AGAINST THE I.R.C.

By "Adrem"

THE REALLY SERIOUS PART OF THE SEA- SON'S CRICKET PROGRAMME GETS UNDER WAY THIS AFTERNOON, WHEN SENIOR DIVI- SION FIXTURES START WITH TWO MATCHES.

Both matches should be interesting. The Champions, Kowloon Cricket Club, will travel to the Valley, where they will meet Craigengower Cricket Club, and enthusiasts will watch their form with keen interest.

Batting Failures

Kowloon almost suffered a set- back against Recreio last week but they are not letting the failure of their batsmen on that occasion worry them unduly.

It has been computed that the strongest batting sides—and that goes for first-class cricket well-are likely to fall at least twice in the season and there in no reason to believe that K.C.C. will be afflicted with both their failures in succession!

K.C.C. will be at full strength but Craigengower appear to have weakened their senior team at the expense of their juniors and there | is likely to be a distinct tail to the batting. On paper Kowloon should win easily, but taking into consideration the number of times Craigengower have upset K.C.C.'s championship aspirations in the past, I would not like to place any muney on this after-¦1.

IMPORTANT GAME TO-MORROW

By "Referee"

MILITARY EXERCISES HAVE CAUSED A NUMBER OF GAMES TO BE POSTPONED THIS WEEK-END WITH THE RESULT THAT THE PRO- GRAMME IS THE SHORTEST THIS SEASON.

A very important game in the deciding of the First Division Championship will be played to- morrow on Club ground between Sing Tao and South China and on present form South China should be able to collect both points,

South China are now the better: balanced and fitter team, while Sing Tao have not been very im- pressive in their recent games.

Two games in the Preliminary Round of the Junior Shield com- petition will be played this week- end and the better should be that batween Kit Chee and Sing Tao to-morrow on the Club ground at 2.30 p.m.
