Taikoo Club Take Over The Lead In The Second Division

By "TOUCHER”

Rain again interupted the week-end Lawn Bowls League and Cham pionship programme and only nine League matches in all were played to the finish.

Keennesa, however, was unabated, despite the fact that the second half of most of these games was played on sodden and at times water- logged greens.

As expected the Second Division furnished the week's highlights. Taikoo Club emerged as, the most successful team of the afternoon when they took 44 points off USRC to overtake Kowloon Dock Club at the head of the League table by just half a point.
