Ile was unlucky not to score on more than one occasion. The whole of the forwards were good and they looked like "stars" against a very weak defence. The ball back line was the most effective line for Kowloosa trio of hard workers and clerer footballers. All were good, but Turner seemed the cleverest of the line and gave the Gunners' left wing no rope. Wheeler and Knight were very ound and always cleared well when called upon. Duncan was good in goat but had very little to do in comparison with Smith The soldiers played like a team of novices. There was no combina- tion shout the team. The full backs were weak and the forwards were very poor, Smith did well in goal, although he was not up to his usual form. The full backs could never be relied upon, Smith being especially unsound. The only player to do himself justice in the game was Spink, and he played well enough for two men. He is a hard worker and a very reliable player. The only other player to mention in the half back line is Reade who did well against Muir and Hayzes and gave the former
littlo opportunity, Castledine was the only forward playing for the Gunners, but he was not sup ported by the other four forwards who all kicked by when attempting to centre and generally spoiled any movement which Castledine originated. The game was poor on the whole; the football was not clever and the kick and rush methods of Kowloon were too much for the slow R.G.A. defence. Result: Kowloon, 4
