CRAIGENGOWER AND RECREIO WAITING

AND WATCHING

Kowloon B.G.C. Deservedly Take Leaderships Of Second Division

AS FAR AS the First Division was concornod, last week's matches provided no surpriso at all. The leadors, Rocroio "A" and Craigengower C.C., won their matchos-comfortably; cach is waiting for the other to make a slip, but neither is show- ing any inclination to do so." And this impasse will probably remain until they meet in the de- cisive match at Happy Valley at the end of the

season.

In the junior divisions, however, there were several interesting results. The Kowloon B.G.C., one of the teams interested in the championship of the Second Divi- sion, excelled themselves at Taikoo, where they defeated the home side by a convincing margin of 22 shots. It was a splendid performance and one which has deservedly given them a clear lead of four points in this section.

whose chances in the champion- ship race are rather poor, and tost by five shots. This defeat has cost the Footballers two very valuable points, but as the League programme is still far from over, the race is still open in spite of the lead established by the K.B.G.C.

in the Third Division, Kowloon Football Club did Hongkong Electric; a great favour by beating the Prison Officers' Club at Stanley, As the resul of this upset and their own victory over Kowloon B.G.C.. the Electricians are now back in the lend again.

CHIEF interest in the First

Division to-day will be centred on the Happy Valley matches. Both the League leaders are playing away, Re- creio "A" at Civil Service and Craigengower at the Police *R.C. Personally I think the

My forecast for the week's three best chances in the Lawn Bowls sweep are: Kowloon B.G.C, to beat Hong- kong C,C. In Second Division.

Kowloon Tong to beat Civil Service in Second Division.
