The Athletic goal in the first half was bound to come as Anderson and his hacks had done remarkably well under great pressure and red hot drives from Wong Shiu-wa (a re- markably improved player on last year) and Suen Kam-shun went flushing by the post. The Kosbies made many efforts and worked harder than McClinchey who does not, however, seem to be so forceful as last year.
