MAMAK SHIELD WINNERS BEATEN
On the Radio Ground at Caro- ino Hill yesterday, the Radio Sports Club, winners of the Mamak Shield,
were beaten. by H.M. S. Veteran in a very fast and even encounter. There was very little to choose between the two teams. The Veteran men put up a stout de- fence against a fast forward line, the goalie and left back being pro- minent in some excellent saves, whilst their centre-forward played a dashing game, scoring on ho The fewer than three occasions. other goal was scored by the out- Ride left.
For the Radio, Hunils at centre- half did well to cover the opposing centre-forward, whilst G. Slugh and K. Slagh also played well. The former scored. twice and the lat- ter once. At the final whistle, the Veteran were leading by four goals to three and deserved their vic- tory.
A return match between these teams will be played on Friday, al 5.10 p.m. on the same ground. The following have been selected to represent the Radio:-A Spary; P. Singh, J. Singh; Hanib, G. Jack, M. Singh: S. Singh, J. T. K. Gil- christ, K. Singh, and F. A. Kemp Reserves: J. Singh and Atta Singh.
OVERSEAS LEAGUE.
FORTHCOMING CONCERT AT
THE HELENA MAY
of
Encouraged by the success the "At Home" held last year, the the Overseas local branch of League have decided, to venture a little further afield in the way of entertainment, and on May 6 the the League have committee of arranged for a variety entertain- ment to be held at the Hetena May Institute.
The programme will consist of items, vocal and instrumental dancing displays, and two one-act plays. An attractive feature of this special entertainment is the fact that of the artistes appearing one or two have not yet been heard try local audiences.
Con
Although the evening has been 1or Overseas specially arranged League members, it is also open to be the public, and tickets obtained from the Hon. Secretary of the League at the Holena May Institute.
The Overseas League, one of the best known British institutions, is doing extremely useful work in helping to keep alive the splendid traditions of the country, and the local branch in a small measure are helping the main body in this work. It is therefore hoped that their efforts in arranging the entertain- ment will receive wholehearted sup- port.
