BY "RIGHT-HALF"

The trind match for the Corinthians' visit, between South China Athletic Association and the Hong Kong Football Association, played on the Club ground, proved disappointing in more ways than one and in my opinion it did not teach as anything that we did not already know. South China won by five goal to one.
