Unique Record.
Kowloon F.C. and the 2nd/Kos- bles have combined to bring about n unique situation in Hong Kong Shield football, these two clubs being represented in the fintis of the two divisions.
con-
Matters are slightly different in the top elfele na Kowloon are out to set up a record by winning three. years in succession. They already have the distinction of five tinuous fans, winning in 1923, 1925 and 1926 but they were beaten in 1924. If they triumph to-morrow, they will have won the Shields four times in all, the last three running. But the "aggregate" will still not be a record as the Hong Kong Football Club have had their name inscribed
trophy five on the tithes.

On Neutral Soil. Kowloon have lost two or three of their stars.. Or the other hand. they have begun to come into their own during the latter half of the Benson and are going great guns now. They seem to be even better than last year--in che respect, at Jeart and that is, the ability to adapt themselves to grounds other then their own;
The holders have won at King's the redoubtable Pork against
League champions, they have fought Shield ties at Sockumpoo and with the knowledge that they have lost first place in the League they will go all out tomorrow.
A Moral Advantage? Danger to Kowloon, will probably come from the Koshies left wing but the Peninsula team must have devised means for circumventing the raide of the Infantrymen's Vanguard.
Before the senior match is play- ed, the fate of the juniors will have been known. The 2nd Kosbies' Re- serves should defeat Kowloon's Re- serves and the soldiers have per- formed so steadily throughout the see season that it is difficult to them "going off" form now.
With the moral advantage of be- ing one up; so to speak, the Kosbies Battalion XI should then rise to the- Occasion.
If necessary, extra time will be replayed (10 minutes each way). after the full time of 90 minutes.
League Struggles

After the Shield will come the Lai Wah Cup. But the ranners-up medals in the League have still to be apportioned. Two matches in division II, section "A" are down for decision to-morrow, one having na vital bearing on second position.
In division 1, only Chinese Athle tle and Kowloon are left in the race.. as will be seen in the tables append-
