Washout Last Week: Weather Thus Far Unkind To Clubs

CRAIGENGOWER'S CHANCE TO AVENGE DEFEAT BY INDIANS By Jack Hy')

SATURDAY LAST WAS ANOTHER "BOYL-LESS" DAY. The heavy rain which fell on both Friday and Saturday saw to that.." The weather has certainly not been kind to lawn bowlers this season. The League should have advanced by now to its fourth week, but so far there have been, only two-Saturdays on which it was possible to carry out a full programme of matches.

This speaks volumes for the keenness of the bowlers concerned, but it shows a lack of consideration on the green and the groundsman.

As far as last Saturday was con-, should prove most interesting as cerned. there was no question the four leaders in the League who have not yet lost a single match will meet.

I am sure all bowlers prefer It that way I mean, to know beyond the shadow of a doubt that play is impossible so that they can make other arrangements for their en-

the tertainment for

afternoon. rather than be torn by doubts and having to wait until the last minute only to be told that the game is off.

Craigenrower' C.C. will be at home to the Indian R.C. and the Kowloon C.C. will meet Recreio “A” (last year's cham- plons). Craigengower, will, na- turally, go all out for a win in order to efface the memory' of last year's defeat
