PEGASUS 0, HONGKONG SELECTION
THE CHINA MAIL, MONDAY, JANUARY 4, 1954.
BID THAT FAILED
THE VISITORS PLAY WAS PURPOSELESS AND DEVOID OF METHOD
Says I. M. MacTAVISH ·
Before the start of this second game of the Hongkong series against Pegasus the players of both sides were presented to His Ex- cellency The Governor. There the regal occasion started and finished for, truth to tell, this was a game that would have raised more yawns than cheers had it been played 'over on the Valley'.
For the paucity of the play Pegasus must accept a high proportion of the responsibility. They were, on this occasion, a poor side and Dr Thompson and coach Lestle Compton must be gravely disappointed by the efforts of the men they have brought 10,000 miles to uphold the prestige of English amateur football.
