Fight For Runners-up Position In League

SEASON NEARS END

S

(BY "SHORT HEAD")

The Bowls season is now drawing to a close and us Cenigengower "A" have already won the Senior title the only interest left is for the runners-up position. "The Club dd Recreio by their victory over, the Kowloon Bowl. ing Green have this position within their grasp but should they falter in one of their three remaining matches Craig- engower "B" and the Kowloon Bowling Green come in. to the limelight again. In the second Division the Kow- loo Bowling Green have only to heat the Police to retain the shield "which they won last year. Club de Recreio is a very good second" to them.

Reviewing last week's games, Re- crglo scored a convincing win over

the Howloon Bowling Green by 22 shots winning on two of the three rinks. F. X. Silva's rink had a very close game with Holland's tour losing by one shot. The game was very well contested and some very good heads were played Alves. who has been skipping well this season had another very good vic- tory when he beat L. Guy's rink by 26-11. Remedios and Alvès were the stumbling blocks to the Bowl- ing Green. They played excellent bowls. Guy bowled well but WRS not given very much support by the others. C. G. Silva and his men won a grand game from Duncan'a i rink. Broneham and Lines from the second team played for Dun- can but were not a success leaving a lot of work for Duncan and Ran- die to do

A NARROW SHAVE Kowloon Cricket Club had a very marrow shave against the Civil Service played at Kings Park. The Cricketers won by two hats and the game was really anybodys un, til the last head. Silkstone's rink was mainly responsible for the vic- tory defeating Hoiledge's rink by 10 shots Overy and Spary played good bowls with Sikstone putting the finishing touches to each bead. Holledge was best served by Culüp Rakusen who really bowled well. was inclined to be short the whole afternoon.

Fincher's rink had an excellent game with McGowan's rink and in what must be a record low scoring game won 13 shots to 12 Lab-

Gitts

and rum.

Jack played well although the latter at times was inclined to be a bit heavy at times to spoil the advantage the home team had. Gellatly and Mc- Gowan were the pick of the Civil Service tour and it had not been for them Fincher's rink would have won by a much larger mar- gin

POLICE DEFEATED Kowloon Docks came into theli own by beating the Police by a margin of 16 shots. Cullen's rink was mainly responsible, they beat Logan's rink by 16 shots. All four in Cullen's rink played good bowls and easily outbowled the. Icur skipped by Logan. The other two rinks had a very even game. „Coo- per was up two shots on Mair. Fraser was down two shots to Hol- lands.

t

Cralgengower "A" without the services of the Omar Bros. and C. 8. Rosselet made mincemeat of

the Craigerigower "B", Bast's rink was up most, beating Way's rink by 11 shots.

Playing on their home ground the I. R. C, easily beat the Talkoo Dockyard by 20 shots. A. O. Madar's rink easily put it across Drum- mond's rink by 21 shots. The Tal- koo four could not get the green

· "and were hopelessly outbowled.

JUNIOR DIVISION

In the Second Division the most important match of the afternoon was that between the Recreio and the Bowling Green at Austin Road and which was won by the former by 6 shots. F.-X. Bcares and his men could do nothing wrong and beat the strong rink skipped by Róse to the tune of 14 shots. L. J. Silva's rink had a narrow win over Sheriff. by 5 shots. There was no- thing much in the game and the re- sult might easily have been the other way. Thompson's rink was the only Bowling Green rink to win, he beat C. H. Basto's rink by 13. shots.

The other Second division games all ended closely.

The semi-finals of the Open Rinks takes place on Bunday on the Club de Recreio Green between the rink skipped by A. R. Dalish and that skipped by U. M. Omer. D. Rumjahn is in hospital and his place has beca taken by Razack. Omar's rink still looks stronger and should win by a fair margin.
