WELL DONE THE K.C.C.

SUCCESS WELL MERITED

A Good Day's Work By All

About one month ago, the Kowloon Cricket "Club were considered to have a very fair chance of winning the league championship even after their very unlucky draw with the 1.R.C. The latter Club had still to play the H.K.C.C. and most of the critics gave them little hope of doing better than escaping defeat. These same critics were confounded. I.R.C. not only defeated the Club but did it most convincingly although the scores

As everyone knows, Gosano made history by winning the University match himself and the K.C.C. were once more well in the running. The Navy were met and defeated and last Saturday they made no mistake against University and despite certain misgivings as to the ability of their bowlers to dispose of Gosano, the doel was done. Many members of the first eleven. and nut a few of the second, and numerous others from neither who attended a very enjoyable dance at the Club that evening feasted their eyes on the shield very consi derately sent over immediately the result was known, by Tom Hayward,'

Fincher and Arthur Lay opened to Gosano and Ozorto and proceeded on their task, of wearing down the bowling. Gosano was inclined to overpitch to start with but very .soon found a length and alded and abetted by Ozorio, kept both bats- men tied down. The wicket was playing very fast and anything just short of a length was very difficult to scare of.

Lay having played himself in proceeded to exploit his celebrated pull-drive with some success and when he left at 37 he had scored no less than 25, a most valuable

effort.

On being joined by Mackay, Fincher started to `open up a bit and when he was dismissed for 36. the bowlers were beginning to 'show signs of we. I.

But gauging from the standard of tennis served up. the defeat must be taken on its merit, and E must be conceded that the champions deserved to be beaten. Tsui Wai Pri and his younger brother Tsut Yun Put played in- spired tencils
