terday.
What happened in their first encounter is now all forgotten but just the same, the game, unless I miss my guess, will be a corker and a hard-fought one from start to finish.
A victory for Hong Kong Brewers will still give them a chance for the championship and the Abemen will be out of the running. If Chung Hwa snatch another victory from the Wingleemen to-day the two teams will be tied for second place in the League standing.
For the winners, Benn and Railton were prominent, their
experience and all-round play
