HONG KONG—Craigengower Cricket Club secured their first top-flight title in 22 years after registering their seventh 8-0 victory of the season last weekend, Oct 15.
This is the 26th top flight title CCC has won since the lawn bowls league was inaugurated in 1910 and further strengthened their position as the winner of the most titles, followed by Club de Recreio (18) and Kowloon Cricket Club (17).
Before the penultimate game last Saturday, CCC were leading second-placed Kowloon Cricket Club by 11 points. They needed 6 points from the match against Tuen Mun Sports Association (TMSA) to take the title, their first since 1994.
TMSA were the only team to record an 8-0 victory against CCC throughout the season.
Last Saturday’s game was tight but two of the CCC rinks kept their composure and came from behind to take the 8-0 to win the title, with a game to spare.
