COLONY WINS
Determined Opposition From Macao Footballers In Second Half
·
(By "Rex")
Macao met a Hongkong oleven in the fourth Interport game at the Club ground yesterday and were beaton six goals to three in a match which bad its share of thrills and spills. In the second half, Macao displayed fine fighting spirit to stage a magnificent recovery, adding two goals to their total and conceding two to Hongkong. -
The sodden ground robbed Macao of the chance of giving a better account of themselves. It was also the cause of a most unfortunate accident: Lo Hon-san, Macao right-half, in trying to avoid Wilkinson, slipped and fell heavily sustaining a dislocated wrist.

The initial attacking was done by Macao and twice within fifteen minutes Benwell kicked away when P.. Angelo was through. The visitors settled down much quicker than the home men, but not long, however, Hook, the Colony captain sent Fowler away. The right winger strode away and cracked a perfect centre to Pritam Nath, and the latter in the twinkling of an eye swept the ball past Almada. This was a nice worked-for goal.
