Twelve Boys In Finals Of Inter-School Sports
LA SALLE COLLEGE, HOLDERS OF THE GOVERNOR'S SHIELD, surprised at Caroline Hill Stadium yesterday by placing 12 the boys in the final of the Inter-School Sports, as many as favourites, Wah Yan College, in a bid to retain the title won by them last year.
King's College placed nine boys, but appear even stronger on paper than either La Salle or Wah Yan and can be expected to present the strongest challenge for the Shield from the remaining six competing colleges.
