HONG KONG—The Triples League is now nearing the half-way stage, with defending champions Craigengower Cricket Club heading the table and still looking favourites to retain the title they won for the first time last year. However, the HKFC B and A teams in 2nd and 3rd places respectively closed the gap with 6-2 and 8-0 wins.

CCC, who have recruited a number of elite young bowlers in the last few years, won the first three games of the season, dropping only two points on the way. But last Saturday Jan 14, they lost additional points when they travelled to last year’s 2nd runners-up, Kowloon Bowling Green Club.

Of the three teams representing CCC, only Simpson Cheung achieved the results they desired, beating Edward Chan by a big margin of 4-23. The massive shot difference in this game helped the team to get an overall 4-4 draw with KBGC-B, despite the other two teams skipped by Lee Ka Ho and Jordi Lo both losing.
