With such a glorious record it rather alarmed the Army people to find their team losing match Conse- after match last year. quently, the General Committee of the Army F.A. put their heads to- gether, and at the beginning of this season it was announced that ar.. Army Wanderers eleven had been formed, in which team poten- tial members of Army representa- tive sides would have an opportun- ity of frying their strength against amateur clubs. So good class most of the men playing in the triangular tournament have had valuable experience in club games against such aides as Oxford City, Cambridge Town, Wycombe Wan- derers, Wealdstone, London Unf varsity, Eastbourne, and Ipswich Town. Besides, the excellent per- formance put up by an Army re- presentative side against a strong Football Association team ot Shornéliffe last November boded The following will represent well for a very successful season. the Hong Kong Rugby Football The British Army has since won Club in the Triangular Tourna- the International triangular tour ment match against the Navy at nament!
