Return Match Between Kowloon and Country Club

(By "Birdio")

THE BREAK in the weathor at Fanling and Sheungshui on Sunday was welcome to golfers, and several of the competitions there were able to get under way. The benefit of the fall was found on the greens, which, even the sand ones at the Country Club, were very playable.

First round matches of the Captain's Cup and the Men's Foursomes, and the final of the Women's Cham- pionship were played at the Country Club, while the first round matches of the Junior Championship were settled at the R.H.K.G.C.
