With the end of the Russer sɛason in sight, the annual Seven- s-side Tournament, organised by the Hongkong Football Club, will be played off next week on the Club ground, Happy Valley, on Mon- day. Wednesday and Saturday, March 11, 13 and 16..
Seven-a-side football is a fast and open game, which provides an excellent spectacle and lively entertainment for spectators. though it is a somewhat gruelling experience for playera. The game originated many years ago on the Scottiah Border, where many clubs used to open their seasons with a Tournament.
ARMY SEVENS TOURNEY
In the Army Seven-a-side Rugby Tournament held at Sookunpoo yesterday, the "Royal Scots "A" qualified, to meet the Royal En- gineers in the final to be held at the Club Kround on Monday, March 11, at 3.30 p.m.
HARD STRUGGLE
BO
This was
doubt good for training and allowed for easy spotting of new talent, but now-a- days it has become customary for tournaments to take place at the end of the season as a grand Anale, and there are now many sevens tournaments organised in the British Isles, usually for charity, around the Easter holl- days. Perhaps the most famous of these are the Melrose sevens in scotland and the Middlesex in England.
