One of the poorest exhibitions of football seen for some months was witnessed on the Kowloon Football Club ground yester day when Colours beat whites by four clear goals in the First laterport soccer trial, which was held before a large crowd of spectators.
OWING TO INJURIES SUSTAINED ON SATURDAY, A NUMBER OF THE SELECTED PLAYERS HAD TO STAND- DOWN, AND THE RESULT WAS A COMPLETE FIASCO AS FAR AS A TRIAL WAS CONCERNED.
George Rodger, the Club and Interport goal-keeper, was suffering from an injured knee and ankle, sustained in the last 10 minutes of Saturday's encounter against the Athletic, while Strange was simi- larly, affected.
