Lawn Bowls had a good year, the Association's League Competitions attracting 27 teams, which took part in three divisions. The Club de Recreio won the First Division; Taikoo Club the Second; and Kowloon Dock Club the Third. The Colony Open Championships had more entries than ever before, and there was a rise in the number of ladies' teams participating in the Ladies' League Bowls.
Interest in cricket was stimulated by the visit in November of a representative team of the Malayan Cricket Association. Hong Kong was beaten in three games out of four, but the games were witnessed by the largest crowds for many years, even including the visit of Australian Test stars some years ago.
The Amateur Boxing Association became affiliated to the Association Internationale de Boxe Amateur, and for the first time since the war boxing championships were held. Hong Kong was represented at the South-East Asian Boxing Championships at Singapore by a team of seven. Several medals were won; Hong Kong finishing third in the team placings.
