Comment,
Omar, B. Leonard,
St. Joseph's won the toss, and the K.O.S.B.'s kicked off against the wind. Play during the early stages was confined to midfield, with both teams taking a long time to adapt themselves to the conditions; the strong wind making it very difficult for the players to control the ball. St. Joseph's were the first to settle down, and the Borderera' defence had a hard time in suppressing the determined attacks of their for The wards. The Saints were the first
After a struggle lasting two hours, neither side deserved to lose, and although on the day's play Kowloon appeared slightly more effective and had a greater share in dangerous movements, yet the result was a very fair in- dication of a strenuous encounter. Kowloon came very near on many occasions, but the Club missed two very easy chances and this balanced the joss element. Club were well served in goal by to score. A nice movement by Rodger who never faltered and Barrios on the right wing resulted came out of a trying time within Sorbie beating the goalie at credit. The Club backs, Bishop short range.
