LADIES HOCKEY SEASON COMES TO CLOSE
HONGKONG, CLUB WIN CAER CLARK CUP FOR FIFTH YEAR
REVIEW OF THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS
(By R.H.B.)
It seems scarcely adequate, merely to extend heartiest con- gratulations to the Hongkong Ladies Hockey Club on winning the coveted Caer Clark Cup for the fourth year in succession. In fact, they have had it in their custody since its inception in 1929. But we must also give a big hand to the St. Andrew's Club Ladies, most gallant contenders, who after losing the Lady Southorn Cup for runners-up last season, have regained it this year, finishing up only one point behind the Champions.
