HONG KONG—The HKLBA Triples League Division 1 title race is still wide open after defending champion Craigengower Cricket Club defeated the leader Hong Kong Football Club B team away from home last Saturday, Feb 18 and climbed to the top with an edge of one single point.

The match at the HKFC indoor green was widely considered as a title decider as the points difference between the two teams was small.

The first game finished on the day was between two ex-Hong Kong internationals CT Wong and Lee Ka Ho when CCC’s Lee prevailed with a 13-16 victory. Lee’s teammate Stanley Lai, the reigning indoor singles champion, also won his game 11-15 against Neil Herrington.
