K.C.C. RETAINS SENIOR CRICKET TITLE: SAME

TEAM PLAYED IN ALL 5

LEAGUE ENGAGEMENTS

By "Adrem"

From the scores and from a knowledge of Tsui's game, one would assume that the C.R.C. player had been kind to the youthful Choa, but there was far more to it than just that. I have little doubt that when the match started Tsui was inclined to be kind but at one stage in the second set I am convinced that for the first time since he was beaten by ever- green Sirdar Rumjahn in the final last year, he was a little worried as to the final outcome of a match.

Yesterday he hustled Tsui as George Choa gave 17

Uninteresting Play

Saturday's match was very un- interesting, an early b.w. decision against Richardson having a big effect on the morale of the K.C.C. feld.

Junior Division

In Junior Division, K.C.C. and Craigengower, with only the fix- ture between themselves out- standing, will now fight it out for honours, the match having been fixed for Saturday at Cox's Road.
