In the closing stages Li Wai- tong got home one of his special efforts, the Caroline Hill Club running out deserved winners of a fine game by four goals to one.
A Great Goalkeeper. The R.A played fine football and surprised their friends in the first half. Fletcher kept a great goal and saved marvellously up to the time of his injury.
Oliver, Nellies, and Joyce were great in defence.
Leach has never played better. He was the mainspring of the R.A. and did all one man could to turn the fortunes of the game.
Gill and Jobs were also good. For South China Pau was as üsual a great defender. Lau Mau. at right back, was good as his brilliant partner, Li Tin-sang..
The halves were steady. The reserve half, Leong Tin-chiu, was the pick of a good line.

A Brilliant Game
the This mutch played on 1.X.F.C. ground was productive a brilliant game in which the EA. held on to their clever op-1 ponents for two-thirds of the game, but speed told in the end and South China entered the final with a good victory of 4 to 1.
Teams:-
Fletcher; R.A.:
Oliver, Bacon; Ward, Nelfies, Joyes; Allan, Bridgeman, Gill, Leach, and Jobe.
South China:-Pau Ka-ping; Li Tin-sang, Lau Mau; Leong Tin-chui, Leung Wing-tak, Leung Wing-chiu; Tsang Wing, Chiu Kwok, Fung King-cheung, Li Wai-tong, and Ip Pak-wa.
Referee: L.S.B.A. Atkinson, R.N.
From the kick-off Leach was neatly through, Lau Mau relieving finely. After Li Wai-tong had put over well-placed, Fletcher "brought the house down"
tong, both missed good chances. Ip Pak-wa was the best forward on the field, and most of the goals came from his left. The right wing was steady, Tsang on the extreme right being a winger of promise.
The final on Saturday with Kowloon should be "the" match of the season.
KOWLOON v. CLUB DE RECREIO
Before a moderate attendance at Sookumpoo, Kowloon delight- ed their supporters by recording a decisive victory over the Club de Recreio. Little can be said for the game as regards the standard of play, but exciting incidents abounded, and Kowloon were good value for their win.
Teams:- Kowloon:--Angus; Guest, Pile; Easterbrook, Bliss; McKelvie, Eastman, Hedley, Hannon, Miles, and Morgan,
Club de Recreio: -Beltrao; Silva-Netto, Xavier; Souza, Remedios, Figueiredo; B. Gosano, Ward, A. Gosano, Rocha, and Brown.
Referee: M.A.A. Vosper.
Kowloon were the first to be- come aggressive, but Xavier sent Miles back and A. Gosano shot
a
with a great save and the R.A. dashed away, Leach bringing out a bit of Pau's best with a dandy effort. South China were aggres-high over when well placed. The sive,, but Fung failed under the majority of the exchanges of the bar from a lovely centre by Ip opening half were of a singularly Pak-wa. The R.A. led by Leach, featureless nature, neither side attacked strongly, Gill coming doing themselves anything like close. "Classy" football by justice. The Recreio were Wai-tong was a feature of the trifle smarter on the ball, than following play, but the "All their opponents, but over-anxiety China" player finished weak with led to many of their scoring a shot well over. Ward robbed chances being wasted. Morgan Ip Pak-wa in fine style, but the missed an open goal for Kowloon Chinese were going strong, and by shooting tamely behind when after Fletcher had saved glorious. in a glorious position. The game ly from Chiu Kwok close in. The was unfortunately not entirely ball coming out the Chinese free from incidents of a question- initiated a grand bit of forward able nature, neither side being play. Fletcher saved on the first blameless in this respect. Several attempt, but a perfect movement exciting incidents occurred finished by Li Wai-tong put around each goal mouth, but both China one up.
defences proved sound, and the interval arrived with a blank score sheet.
South China, in spite of good work by Oliver and Nellies, came again and Fung King-cheung rounded off a smart forward play with a nice goal.
China led by two goals to nil at
the interval.
Sensational Restart The second half opened sensa- tionally. The R.A. were awarded a penalty in the first few mo- ments. Leach, who was entrust ed with the kick, refused to score, but Gil made amends immediate ly after with a smart goal, which was deflected past Pau off one of his backs.
With only one goal down the R.A played well. Leach was the mainspring of the attack, and Gill and Jabe were both trying hard. Fletcher was hurt and went for
a free kick, ward. Leach, with well out, tested Pau to the utmost, the latter just saving. From now on the Chinese were on top. Chiu Kwok scored, but the goal was disallowed. The match at this stage was exciting. Fung
Recreto Score First The standard of play improved after the interval and Recreio encouraged the hopes of their sup- porters by taking an early lead. Rocha netting from the rebound after A. Gosano had struck the cross bar with a fine drive.
Jackson, the outside right player, was carried of having dislocated his shoulder before the interval.
Thereafter, however, Scotland held her own until the last minute when Cheyne scored dramatic goal from a corner.
