CLUB SCORES 2-0 AGAINST DEPLETED SIDE
The Hong Kong Hockey Club seniors defeated St. Andrew's Club by 2 goals to nil in a friendly ea
counter at King's Park yesterday.
A scrappy game of only medi- sere standard, the play develop- ed into a purposeless struggle between two forward lines who The never looked like scoring. only bright spasin in the game was provided in the first few minutes, when the Saints, who were without the services of White at back, were overwhelm ed by the Club who scored twice The Club scored, through Pote Hunt and Tetley, but after this White entered the game to bring the Saints to full strength, and thereafter the score remained un- changed to the finish.
Only the full-backs pluyed up to standard. White and Broadbridge were outstanding for their side, though lacking sting in their clearances.. W. A. Reed broke up the Saints forwards at centre-half, and the two-backs, Rodger and Flowerdew, were unbeatable' in the defence line.
