They should also remember worry the 'keeper, for this player has always been shaky under pressure. The result, whichever way it goes, will be a close one.

evenly matched games are also down for decision to-day. Middlesex oppose Kwong Wah at Sookunpoo and Kowloon enter tain Navy at home.. In the first game, Kwong Wah should be able to give the soldiers a good run for their points, for of late they have shown a marked improve- ment in the team."
Kowloon should be able to take full points from the indifferent Navy team. To date, the Senior Service have not provided anything of note, though for individual inembers, they are as good as any the rest con provide.
