BORDERERS' THREE VICTORIES DURING WEEK END

FINE FIELDING

FINCHER MAKES TWO GREAT CATCHES AGAINST I.R.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- era. Their consistency through- out the season has ranked them as about the finest all-round team fo the league this year, and it was this Balance which did so much to shat- tor the hopes of the Indians.

The K.C.C. total of 126 did not, in cold figures appear a particularly formidable score. but when it received the sup port of such excellent bowling and extremely efficient Belding 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- Innes 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 alips. Madar he caught high up off Burnett, whilst Minu was 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 Shield programme on Saturday produced some keen football. More decisive tackling and a better idea of the whereabouts of the goal helped the Borderers to negotiate their semi-final with the Lincolns.

SOUTH China's ultra-clever footwork

nearly reacted on the performers " whose finishing was ultra-dismal. Nevertheless they managed to snap the one goal necessary to qualify for the final
