Athletic v. Hung Kut In this match which was played on St. Joseph's ground, the Athletle were too strong for the school players, scoring a 7-0 victory. The Athletic opened the scoring ten minutes after play started. Loung was in fine shooting form and never allowing an opportunity to go by, he was responsible for four goals for the Athletics before ends were changed. The School worked hard in the first ralf but failed when in front of goal. They fell away badly, In the second half, and pressing all the time, the Athletic scored three more goals before the final whistle.

Ewo v. P.W.D.

Played on the Athletic ground, this match was quite Interesting and the P.W.D., who had a big share of the game had hard luck to lose by two clear goals. A little feeling crept inte the play, but nothing of a serious nature occur- red. The first half was ironi-less. Ewo scored their first goal soon after the resumption. during a scramble in the goal-mouth. Their second point came from a well con- verted penalty kick.

South China v. Police These two teams met at Caroline

Hill, and a keenly contested match resulted in a goal-less draw. The Police had the better of the game but their shoeling was erratic when in front of goal. The fast Chinese forwards could not do much againat their heavier opponents who made much of this advantage. There was a regrettable incident when a Police player was ordered off the field by the referee for heavy tackiing.
