Royal Artillery and Kowloon (holders of the championship) are in the middle of the table and an even contest should be seen here. Kowloon will have their "stars" back while the Gunners will still be without Lanch, their goal-getter. Accordingly.. the Peninsula team should get 'two' more points on their own ground. Even if South China beat the Polite they will still be at the bot tom of the first division table. Both are lowly-placed and have only recently tasted of the fruits. of victory.
