Third Division of the Hong Kong Football League has provided followers of the game with some very exciting sport during the season under review, and one of the most gratifying features was the closeness of the struggle for supremacy, the result of which was in doubt until practically the last game had been played.

Three teams, the East Lancs., Fusiliers and Chinese Police played far above the average of any Third Division team and would probably have held their own with many teams, in the Second Division. The Chinese Police were most unfortunate în being held to a draw of 1-1 by their European colleagues, as this result played a large part in ruining their chances of a divisional championship..
