Club Beat Army To Record First Win And Cause Biggest Upset
Club recorded their first win in the First Division of the Hong Kong Football League this sec- son and incidentally caused the biggest upset to date when, playing at home yesterday, they beat Army by two goals to one. Club played the right type of football and fully deserved their win. Without in any way de- tracting from Club's effort, however, it must be mentioned that Army were not at full strength, several reserves taking the field in place of the regulars.
