Hongkong v. Lawn Bowls Club The Lawn Bowls Dud defeated the Hongkong interport team by 4 points last Friday. this was hard tines on our visitors, who have not won d Club match since their stay in the port. They put up a great game however, and certainly deserved better joss. They played solidly together, and but for lucky work by Buckley at the 20th end there might have been a wonderfully exciting and desperate finish. The scores were Hongkong 18 and L, B. C. 20 and Hongkong lay two, but Buckley cannoned off an outside wood and lay the shot. This sealed the fate of the visitors, as they had to score four to win. The Lawn Bowls Club got the last shot and the verdict.
It must not be thought that because Hongkong have lost their Club matches that they did not play well. On the contrary they played extraordinarily good bowls, but they were put up against the hest that Shanghai could produce. +The slightest bit of luck would have altered the result considerably.
