of the poorest soccer games this season was witnessed on the Kowloon Football Club ground yesterday, when the Recreio beat Kowloon by three clear goals in their re-arranged First Division League fixture.

The feature of the game was the excellent short-passing movements of the Recreio forwards in the opening half, when Castilho, Delgado and Gomes came into the limelight, Delgado's display being very good.

The shooting throughout was very poor although Delgado secured an excellent "hat-trick", his goals being good individual efforts. His second goal, when he deflected a low drive with his head, was one of the prettiest. I have seen this season.
