FUSILIERS HAVE TALENT FOR GOOD PREMIER SOCCER ELEVEN

LINCOLNS BEAT

ST. JOSEPH'S IN

VERY POOR GAME

Below 2nd Division Standard

·HIGGINS NETS “HAT-TRICK: ELMS ONLY OPPOSITION

A very poor exhibition of foot- ball was given on the Kowloon Football Club's ground yesterday, when the Lincolns routed St Joseph's by 6 goals to 1 in their First Division encounter.

The Lincolna should have won -by a far greater margin, but. after necuring a comfortable lead, they settled down to "teasing football," just being content to attempt to score whenever they felt like it.

(By "TOUCH JUDGE").

THE Welch Fusiliers, making their debut in Colony football, lost their opening premier league game against the Artillery by the odd goal in three on the Club ground yesterday.

In many ways, they were decidedly unlucky to lose both points, and a. draw would have Been a more fitting result.

The game was played throughout in a keen, sporting spirit, a welcome change from some of the matches witnessed of late. It was keenly contested and fast, and the exchanges in both ; periods were very even.`·

The game was very evenly con- tested in the opening half, but in the latter period the Gunners do- minated play and had the Macao team on the defensive for the major portion of the half.
