I would like to review, very briefly, our sports activities for the past year. In the Cricket League last season, we were seventh out of the teams competing.
What we could not do in cricket, however, we managed in the Tennis League. We have won all the three divisions for the third time in suc cession. All the pairs in the teams did exceptionally well, and the Lo brothers went through all their matches without a single defeat (applause).
At present in view of inadequacy of space
we have to confine our- selves to cricket and tennis, but it is my earnest hope that the day will soon come when we shall be able to extend our activities, so that, through the medium of sport, we shall be in a better position to do our bit to support Sir Cecil Clementi's "get-together
