HONG KONG—Craigengower Cricket Club’s title-defending journey was back on track after defeating second-placed Hong Kong Football Club at home last Saturday, Feb 11, in the HKLBA Triples League.

CCC were trailing two HKFC teams before the weekend after suffering 2 draws and one defeat in the previous 3 games. Leaders HKFC-B were not in action last Saturday because their opponents Kowloon Bowling Green Club were on a bowls tour in Bangkok, CCC were well aware that they could climb back to the summit should they defeat HKFC-A.

The match did not go as planned as the team skipped by young player Lee Ka Ho fell quickly to a 11-18 defeat at the hands of Johnny Tsang. When ex-Hong Kong international Stanley Lai brought victory to CCC with a scoreline of 24-14 against Wagner Chan, all eyes were on the last team skipped by youngster Simpson Chang.

Chang was holding a one shot advantage into the last end and also held shot in this end. His opponent Wing Chan used all 3 shots to try take out the holding shot but in vain. Chang hung on and won the game 19-16.
