(Caroline Hill, 4 pm)
Probably the biggest fact which hits one in the eye at the moment is the hopelessness of South China "A's" task in attempting to retain south China B Rifles their League title. In 11 encounters they have secured only 13 points, while at the half-way stage last season they had secured 10 wins in as many games.
The most talked of Club at the moment is the Royal Ulster Rifles, whose hopes of carrying off the champion- ship appear very bright, but whether they will be able to maintain the same form until the end of the season seems very doubtful, in view of some of their earlier failures. Consistency is the keynote of success, and this is not their strong suit.
