Clash In Today's Main Match

By ROBERT TAY

The main highlight of this afternoon's lawn bowls league matches will be provided by the first-round clash at King's Park between the present two top teams in the first division, Recreio "A" and Kowloon Dock Club. The two teams are now the only unbeaten sides in this division, having won all their five matches played. Recreio "A" are at the top of the league table with a one-point advantage over their rivals.

The next best match In the first division is likely to be that

between third-placed IRO "A" and fifth-placed Kowloon Cricket Club.

The Indians enjoy a distinct advantage for this game as they will be playing on their tricky home green which will probably be rendered more difcult by

the

recent heavy

rain.

On paper, too, the Indians appear to be much the stronger side, but I doubt if they will walk away with the game, as many would expect.
