KOWLOON Cricket Club clambered to the top of the second division cricket league table on Saturday, having threatened to depose Army "B" for the last three weeks. This also signalised Pat Dunne's last game this season for the K.C.C. His contribution to Saturday's victory over Craigengower was characteristic: Five wickets for 46 runs and then an innings of 60.
