END OF THE Kowloon Worthy Winners Of Senior Title: Play-Off

In Junior League

AND SO WE COME to the end of another season. It is always a sad occasion to those of us who are getting on in years. To the young men it merely means a pause before they can get on to improve their game. In view of what has hap- poned since September 3 last, I think, that the cricketers in the Colony can congratulato them- solves on having kept the game alive.

It has been a scrappy season. It had to be. With practically all players doing Military work as well as their own civil jobs, the full teams could not be turned out regularly. We have managed to run the League in a reasonably satisfactory way.

On the whole Kowloon Cricket I do congratulate the Civil Service Club are very well deserved wigners of the Sonlor Shield, Thoro has not perhaps been any brilliant cricket, but one point which strikes me particularly is the excellent showing which the Army have made

Second Eleven on the way they have carried on during the season. They themselves would be the first to admit that they are not a very good side, but they are extremely keen, and, after all, that matters more than anything else in cricket. A side that only plays keenly when it is winning

WHAT MAY HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED the surprise of the evening at the Club de Recreio yesterday was the victory of H. Gillies over N. L. Smith in the Junior Badminton Singles final, and in the senior final it appeared that there was to be a second surprise when C. Au took the first game off Patrick H. Wong. During and after the second game, however, there was little doubt as to who was to be the senior champion.

A beautiful trophy was presented to the Hongkong team after the game, and the victors will be leaving for Hongkong by Clipper to-day.

STAMINA

THERE was, too, the question of stamina. Wong bore the strain of the strenuous match much better than Au. Wong fully deserved the second game, but after ten minutes rest, when the players returned to the court for the third game, it was problematic whether Au had been able to recover.

The opening exchanges conveyed nothing, but after a few minutes Wong took command again and was leading 3-1, then 8-2 and 11-2. At this stage he was superb at the net, smashing all that his way, against this front, Au's clearing shots were made to appear weak.
