Brittain was another player who shone. He was the stumbling block
to the Chinese forwards and work- ›ed hard throughout the game. In the second period, when Lai Shui-wing played instead of Cheuk Shek Kam, at inside-right, Brittain had much more to do, but acquitted himself
well.
GOUGH'S HARD DAY
Gough, in the pivotal-position, was a trier all through. He kept his forwards well fed; their in- ability to make an impression on the opposing defence and their poor passing caused a much extra work to fall on the shoulders of the in- termediate line.
