LEAGUE BOWLS

KCC AND RECREIO 'BLUES' STRENGHTEN POSITIONS AS LEAGUE LEADERS

By "TOUCHER”

No fewer than four teams suffered knockout blows during the week-end Lawn Bowls League games which saw Kowloon Cricket Club and Recreio "Blues" strengthening their positions as League leaders in the First Division and Kowloon Dock Club in the Second and Third Divisions.

First victim was Kowloon Bowling Green Club, who fell to the Kowloon Cricket Club by the sweeping margin of five points to mil. With this victory, the Kowloonites increased their lead over the champion Recreio "Blues" by another point as the "Blues" could collect only four points from Craigengower Cricket Club.

"Manslaughter against the selectors" is naturally one of the more popular. While I have always held that it was a foreseeable error not to keep open a place for Alan Thiriwell in case he won the English Championship for the second time running three weeks before the match, which he did, I have yet to be convinced either that his presence would have turned the tide of a 10-2 defeat, or that injustice was done to anyone other than him.
