NAVY'S LATE RALLY FAILS
Unable to Recover From Lapse in First Half
TWO OUT OF THREE PENALTIES MISSED
(By "Tinker")
If only for their determined efforts in the second half, the Royal Navy, perhaps, deserved a point in their First Division soccer match at Boundary Street yesterday. Kwong Wah, after a 4-2 lead at half-time, finally won 6-4. The game was not devoid of thrills. The Navy side were pretty ragged in their kicking and passing in the first half, but when Kwong Wah went into a 5-2 lead almost immediately upon the recommencement, they took the play almost continually into the enemy territory and at times swarmed the Kwong Wah goal. It was only a minute or two from the end that during one of these concentrations Kwong Wah got the ball away and swooped down into an almost deserted half of the field and put the issue beyond doubt.
