Macao made a grave blunder when they sent two teams to the Colony at so near a date to the Taterport and, what was worse, when they lost against the Kowloon Indians Tennis Club, a team by no means up to Interport standard, and drew with the HKSRA, while their juniors succumbed to the Gunners' second teams and then beat the Recreio. The result of these games has been a considerable loss of interest in the Interport.
