this USRC. fower than four of the five Lawn Bowls League titles season, were given a rude shock on Saturday when their hitherto undefeated Second Division twelve wont down to Kowloon Dock

Club at Hung Hom by 4-1 in their first defeat after 15 outings.

The Valley club, however, made up for this defeat by practically assuring themselves of the Second Division Ladies' League title by beat- ing Filipino Club by 31-19. Having made almost sure of the First Divi- sion Ladies' League title last week when they beat Kowloon Dock by 20-14, the Craigengower lady bowlers can now count on a clean sweep in the ladies' division.

In frele quest for the other two files, Cralgengower will receive their strongest oppost- tion from Recreio and as a result of last Saturday's matches the Valley club green will be the
