BORDERERS' THREE VICTORIES DURING WEEK END

FINE FIELDING

FINCHER MAKES TWO GREAT CATCHES AGAINST "LR.C.

INDIANS THWARTED: K.C.C. SECOND DIVISION RUNNERS-UP HEARTS ceased to flutter at the University after Saturday afternoon when it became known that the Kowloon Cricket Club had beaten the Indian Recreation Club in the last cricket league match of the season, and that the Varsity had, as a result, won the premier cham- pionship.

It was a creditable, but not. al- together unexpected achievement on the part of the Peninsula play- ers. Their consistency through- out the season has ranked them as about the finest all-round team in the league this year, and

was this Balance which did so much to shat- ter the hopes of the Indians.

The KCC total of 125 did not, in cold figures appear a particularly formidable score, but when it received the sup port of such excellent bowling and extremely efficient fielding on the part of the homesters, one could appreciate, and sympathise with the task before the Indians

FINCHER'S CATCHES. Burnett, Goodwin, Smith and Mc- Idnes shared the bowling honours for the K.C.C., whilst E.C. Fincher completed a capital afternoon's work by dismissing A.H. Madar and A.K. Minu with dazzling cat- ches in the slips, Madar he caught high up off Burnett, whilst Minu;

sent back with a cleverly anticipated catch near the ground, Incidentally the Fincher bro- thers proved conclusively that Pereira could be hit, and in put- ting on 69 runs rather spoilt his analysis. None the less the fast bowler bagged five victims, at a cost of nine runs each.

The Borderers played thrustful, neck-or-nothing football, refusing to be put off by the conditions, which, with a severe cross wind, were made none to plessant, and scored their goala by making use of opportunities, rather than by any pronounced superiority of forwards over defence. The Lincoln, were slow, wild In their passing and without a forward capable of turning to good account the many chances offered.
