"

Form To Beat Club

Three interesting" matches are'down in the senior division to- morrow, results' of which may have a definite bearing on the ulti- mate destination of the Shield. The chances are, however, mat- ters will be further complicated.

It all depends on the big match-the Indians-Club encounter at Sookunpoo. If the Indians win their chances will be very much enhanced, as they will then only need to draw the final match with Kowloon.

In these conjectures, of course,bility, if the sun comes out later,

As with the senior division, a close finish is indicated in the Junior section of the Cricket 'League, where the Royal Navy and Craigengower are battling it out neck to neck.

Both teams have an undefeated record and, though the Navy are heading the table, Craigengower are actually on level terms as they have a game in hand. Their respective records are:-... good change bowler. He had an P W L D Pts.excellent day in this match, taking Navy -9 B 0 3 21 five wickets for only 19 runs, and C.C.C.V
