"SOCCER SIDE
For a change from the last two weeks all the games this afternoon will be held on the Hongkong side, two at Sookunpoo and the other one at the Navy ground in Causeway Bay. The first at Sookunpoo brings together at 3.00 p.m. the Army North and the RAF, followed at 4.15 p.m. by the Club opposing the as yet unbeaten Army South.
