WELSH WINGERS ON THE MARK

(By "REFEREE")

MAKING their farewell appearance against South China Athletic Association yesterday at Caro- line Hill, the Royal Welch Fusiliers shared six goals in a fairly entertaining game in which the Chinese attack shone.

Lee Ting-sang, above, has been elected captain of the Colony soc- cer team against the Islington Corinthians.

H.K.S.R.A. AND CLUB DRAW AT HOCKEY

a trying time, but in playing round with the ball he often disorganised his own attack. Sullivan was a very hard worker at inside-left and had hard lines on several occasions. Tal- bot has lost none of his fine ball control and speed, while his dead- liness anywhere near

or in "area" was substantiated by his fine equalising goal when he beat Tam Kwan-kong easily with a fine first time effort.

INDIVIDUALLY DANGEROUS

Individually the Welshmen were very dangerous in attack, but as a line they failed badly. There was little cohesion in their final touches, and try as he could Talbot could not work up an understand- ing with Coakley and Sullivan,

a trifle disappointing. Keneghan, who is
