Is Sufficient
By “REFEREE”
A WEAK SOUTH CHINA “A” team were held to a goal- less draw by Kwong Wah at Boundary Street yesterday in their postponed First Division encounter, but South China, by virtue of this draw, have now won the First Divi- sion Championship for the third year in succession.

South China were the better team
and had more scoring opportunities but Wong Wah-kay, in Kwong Wah's grand display and brought off a number of excellent

POOR GAME
The game was very poor and never looked like Second Division standard. Moxham, the Interporter, was still on the injured list and his position in goal for Sappers was taken over by Lam Wah-sing, who did quite well. Outstanding players for the winners were Fox, Taylor and Moore in the forward line, Pelham at right-half and Palmer in defence.
