Macaensis 'A' win Senior

RECREIO-ARMY MONOPOLY BROKEN AFTER 12 YEARS

Grand 'Double' by Recreio ladies XI.

'Macaensis 'A' became the Colony 1960-1961 First Division Hockey League champions yesterday when they defeated Nav Bharat 'A' 2-1 and Army 'A' went down 3-4 to Recreio in two of the best supported and noisiest matches of the season.

This is the first time that a team other than Recreio or the Army have won the League since Recreio won it in the

1948-49 season.

Mucaensis 'A' have one more match till to play and Army 'A' two but Miscaensls are in an unassailable position with 23 points from 13 matches whilst Ariny 'A' have 17 points from 12 games.

KCC 'A' by defeating Recreio

5-1 have regained

second place in the Lengue table with a tally of 19 points bat have completed all their fixtures.

In Ladies' hockey Recreio de feated Gremlins B 9-0 in the Gremlins Cup Anal to achieve the double of winning the League and Cup.
