RECORD CREATED BY C.C.C.'A'

Wins Championship For The Third Year In A Row

LAST WEEK'S GAMES

ぶ

REVIEWED

(BY "SHORT HEAD")

"Haus Off to the Craigengower Cricket Club for having won the senior lawn bowls league for the third year in succession, (and incidentally for the second time) and thereby making history for local bowls. Their convincing win over the Taikoo Dock last week clearly demonstrated their versatility as a bowls unit and now with only three more games on hand the senior cham- pions can well afford to lose them as the Bowling Green and Recreio by their defeats last week have been left far behind in the running for the championship.

All three of the C.C.C. “A's" rinks were on the credit side al though there was a keen tussle seen between N. Drummond's four and U. M, Omar's quarteite. The C.C.C. "A" eventually winning by the score of 14 shots to 12. Rossolet's four had the measure over Wallace's rink by 22 shots to 14 while in the last rink Luz skipped his side to victory against Chalmers' four by 20 shots to 14.

FALL FROM GRACE The much fancied Civil Servants had a fall from grace on Saturday when the lowly placed. Kowloon Duck team took them to book and inflicted a smashing win over them by the score of 70 shots to 35.

Skipping for the first time this season in lawn bowls league, A. W. Grimmitt was unable to lead his men to victory, succumbing to the wiles of that veteran "Jock" Mc- Kelvie by the score of 24 shots to 14. It must be said however, that the Dockers were playing better bowls and deserved to win.

Another of the Civil Servants' - stalwart skip J. F. MacCowan went down serably to Cullen's four by 20 shots to 9 while Cooper and his men had the measure over Hollidge's four by 26 shots to 12. Generally speaking the Civil Ser- vants found the Dockers in great "form and were beaten by a better
