The "31" Shield Is Making Local Rugger More Attractive
Says "PAK LO”
The main news this week beyond today'a Rugger matches is the loss to local rugby of the HKRU Chairman, Mẹ M. 8. Douglas, who will be leaving us in the near future to take up a post in some other country.
It is with regret that we say farewell to him, for he has DONE much, both na a player and an official, to put local rugby on the map, and it may safely be said that under his directlon the HKRU has at last become a power in the land, and is making some useful innovations in local rugby, which have without doubt improved the game over the last couple of years.
