K.F.C. CAPTURES THIRD WEEK-END DIVISION BOWLS CROWN BY A NARROW MARGIN

BY L. G.

The Kowloon Football Club won the Second Division Champion- ship last Saturday as the result of their win over Kowloon Tong. Prior to this game the Footballers needed but two points to clinch the title and they did not take any chances but won on the axgre- gate by shots thanks to W. C. Simpson's 15 shat win over J. L. Ste- phens.

With the exception of Recreio “B" and Kowloon Cricket Club who have yet to play each other, the rest of the teams in the First Division have completed their fixtures. The Civil Service C.C. now оссиру the cellar position in the Table and will be relegated to the Second Division next season.
