KOWLOON BOWLING G. C. "A" GETS RUDE SHOCK AT HANDS OF CRAIGENGOWER C. C.

K.C.C. SCORE FIRST VICTORY AT

EXPENSE OF RECREIO "B": ̄`\", TOMMY MADAR HERO OF MARCH BY "L. G."

There is now only one team In the League which can boast of a 100 per cent. record-Kowloon Tong in the Second Division. The Kowloon Football Club, in the same Division, who previous to last Saturday had also been unbeaten, surprisingly lost to Recreio although they were playing at home.

יד

There were several other surprising results in the matches de- elded on Saturday, chief of which was the home defeat of the fairly. powerful Recreio "B" at the hands of Kowloon C.C. in the First Divi- sion. This was the Kowloon Cricketers' first win of the season. After defeating the Champions, Recrelo "A", the previous Saturday, Kowloon Bowling Green Club "A" were expected to chalk up an- other win at home, this time at the expense of Craigengower, but In the Third Division, Kowloon the tables were turned on them.

Football Club unexpectedly lost to Recreio.
