"WICK'S" BOWLS NOTES

A Week-end Of Surprise Results

Splendid Victory For K.C.C. Over Indians

Set-back For Kowloon Tong

TWO "POSSIBLES;" a seven, Craigengower's smashing victory over Civil Service C.C. and Kowloon Cricket Club's clean-sweep success over the Indians at Cox's Road were the chief features of last Saturday's League programme.

Though the champions, Recreio "A", also won their match against Kowloon Docks at King's Park, they conceded a point, and, as a result, their Happy Valley rivals, Craigen- gower, are only four points behind with two matches in hand.

The Indians, who are also in
