The Club were unfortunate in con- ceding a point when they were leading by two goals to nil and with only a few minutes for time. In the early stages of the game, the K.O.S.B. pressed strongly but the Club defence was, very sound. Reeves and Stock were always dangerous, while Humphreys and Alexander on the respective wings put in some fine work,

In the second hall the Navy aa- sumed command and the Kowloon defence fell off badly. Peacock opened the score for the Navy and Firth got three more.
