No one is to blame for this as much as the Kowloon for warda who, although fighting against bad luck, should have scored on at least three.occasions.

Although South China set up a spirited fight the Club always had little bit in hand, and are now settling down to good sound side. Unfortunately the Club is losing Pile, their clever right winger who is probably playing for the Police on Saturday next. This loss earlier in the season would have been serious, but with the re- turn of the old players mentioned, and: Patey Taylor again playing on the right wing, the Club should re- quire the serious consideration of all future opponents as they can now turn out a hefty side.
