RACE FOR LAWN BOWLS FIRST & THIRD DIVISION LEAGUE TITLES STILL ON
By "TOUCHER”
Although the First and Third Division Lawn Bowls league fixtures were scheduled to officially end last Saturday, the face for the title in both divisions is still on.
Extremely game fights by Kowloon Bowling Green Club and Indian Recreation "Blues" in Saturday's matches left the two top contenders for First Division honours, Craigengower Cricket Club and Kowloom Cricket Club, almost where they were before Saturday's games.
If there was any advantage gained it was only that slight margin in favour of Craigengower Cricket Club who ended their season by narrowly edging out. Kowloon Bowling Green Club by three points to two.
