ROZA PEREIRA CROWNS YEAR OF ACHIEVEMENTS

KOWLOON OR CLUB?

A NEEDLE MATCH TO-MORROW

PENINSULA TEAM CHANGES

INTERPORT, TRIAL

(By "Veritas")

Despite the fact that both teams put up third rate displays last Saturday, little interest will be lost in the meeting of the Club and Kowloon on the for- mer's enclosure to-morrow, and from the partiann viewpoint, this is the outstanding fixture of the day.

Although the acute rivalry be- tween the two teams, which has now exlated for years, places the match in the nature of a local "dorby," I feel that improvement will have to be shown by both pides if spectators are to get their full money's worth to-morrow.

Apart from a little post- tional juggling in the inter- medinte and rear lives, Kow- loon are making but ́ølight changes from the team which disappointed against St.

Joseph's, whilst the Cluby pos albly because it in a case of "beggara can't be choosers," are sticking to the same eleven which, took part in the disa8- trous game against the Bar- dérers, except that Hows · returns.

THE game at Sdokunpoo he

tween the old rivals, the' Indians and the Craigongower C.C., was characterised by some keen fielding on both sides, und this was partly responsible for the low scores put up. The Indians were dismissed for only 92 whan they went in to bat first, thanks to L Hubbard; a newcomer, who took six wickets for 23 runa. His analysis flattered him, I think, be cause he got among the tallendors and took three cheap wickets.

HE Indians gave nothing away when they took the field, and the visitors found the greatest difficulty in making runs. Poreira was slinging 'em down at a great pace and H. P. Lim got a nasty knock on the hand with the result. that the fast bowler was taken off. During the match C. W. Lam, "ormerly of the University and now for the Craigengower CIÒ, had his hand badly cut by a hot return from A. A. Rumjahn, the Indian skipper, who claimed 50 not out of the total of 92. When stumps were drawn, the visitors still needed 13 runs to win with two wickets to fall.
