It was a great triumph for Fincher aa Tsui is a player of no mean ability and in some quarters was expected to beat Fincher. In the match against Honda, Fincher was again outplayed in the first set, but he again staged a remarkable Te- covery to win comfortably. His weakness lies in his slowness to

South China Win.

The Navy were the first to acore when Stevens fastened on to a lob from Skinner and beat Wong easily. A solo effort soon after saw Rawson go through the de-i fence and beat Wong to place the Navy further ahead. Before the interval, however, the Chinese re- duced the arrears as the result of a slit on the part of one of the naval defenders, who deflected a abot into his own net.

In the second half Chen equalis- ed from a centre from Lee and the Chinese ahould have gone ahead when awarded a penalty, but Fung cleared the bar with his shot. Lee, however, placed China ahead when Ip sent in a beautiful centre from a corner kick.
