Police Reserves Seeking Grasett Challenge Trophy
The Police Reserve team make a very determined bid for the Graselt Challenge Trophy when they fired their match against the Police "A" team during the period; July 20 to August 3. Although the latter returned their highest score of the season they could not compete successfully against the excellent marksmanship of P. H. Thong and his team mates. Thong returned the first open sight "possible" of the season.
The detailed scores of this match are: | Police Iteuerve, ASI. P. H. Thong (100), B O. T. Leung (96), BJ. c. c. Chau (01),6.). A. C. Chan (00), 377. Pullen "A" Bgl Wall (05), Coll Marunjan Singh (03), Sgt Russell (90),
