Kowloon have done excep- tionally well throughout the season. and few can deny that on the form they have shown they thoroughly deserve their success.
The high standard of the season's cricket was well maintained yester day and the batsmen had the best of the argument all through. Three players from the Rest put up high scores, but Brace, of the League winners, outshone them with a neatly compiled 95, not out.
