CRAIGENGOWER WERE FULL VALUE FOR THEIR 5-0 TRIUMPH OVER RECREIO

"On Saturday's League Bowls

"Toucher" On

Craigongower Cricket Club pulled off their greatest win in the First Division of the Lawn Bowls League this season when they handed Recreio, the Championship favourites, a crushing 5-0 defeat on Saturday.

As a result of this victory by the Valley club and also that of Indian Recreation Club "Blues" on the saine day over Kowloon Cricket Club, the race for the First Division title has now developed into a three- way affair among Craigengower Cricket Club, Indian Recreation Club "Blues" and Recreio, with Kowloon Dock Club and Kowloon Cricket Club remaining just within striking distance.
