CRAIGENGOWER v.

THE BEST MATCH TOMORROW

By "RECORDER"

Army, who are top of the First Division of the Cricket League at the moment, have a bye this week-end and the programme, as a whole, is the most uninteresting of the season thus far.

Cralgengower against the Indian Recreation Club at Happy Valley looks the most promising game, though at Chater Road there is the intra-club match between the KCC's Scorpions-and-Optimista.

Both matches are "blood" affairs, but the Optimists this season will have to be at their best to extend the Scorpions. Though they are not as strong as they were last year, the Optimists are likely to be keener than they would be for another match and an afternoon at Chater Road will be well worth the while.
