JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP
QUALIFIERS,
The results of the qualifying was most ditheult to upset. Suen competition at Fanling on Sunday was oustanding on Saturday and were: made ground whenever the ball came to him and is at present the most effective inside forward play- ing in Hong Kong football.
#A
The Athletic on Saturday not so impressive
in recent matches as the right wing was only ordinary, and if Sherry, who play. ed a fine game for the Police, had converted the penalty awarded
early in the game, the Police might easily have created a surprise.
The Police will command respect) in future matches with a full kide and with Oram back' at centre half; and Hudson shaking the forwards) up, will get goals.

There was not much to com- ment on in the other Senior games. Recreio are again getting into their stride and will be all out for the Shield, whilst the R.A. did well in beat them on Satur- day, in a game where the Military side appeared more at home in the Chatham Rond ground than their opponents, who are more secustom- ed to the King's Park ground which is fur superior to the Military ground and more helpful to com-: bined movements.
Kowloon, with McKelvie back, progressed, and only in the matter of goals were they inferior to the Borderers and the improvement of the Peninsular side is likely to be continued, especially if Northey can get fit and supply that little extra dash which the Kowloon for- wards require.
