OUTSTANDING FEATURES of a very interesting game were the totally unexpected fight put up by the Civilian team, the complete domination by A. V. Gosano over Chan Tak-fai and Lee Wai-tong, and two surprise goals by Hau Ching-to which gained for the Chinese their four goals to two victory over the Civilians in the second round of the Lai Wah Cup at Causeway Bay yesterday.
