Though the Kumaons were
team conspicious with their hockey they never lacked the support of the comrades at all their soccer games,
Another good thing about the Regi- ment was that they adhered to and fulfilled most of their fixtures as ar- ranged by the Association and any ap- plication for inevitable postponements was made in ample time to allow the Association to accomodate them.
The Kumaons are due to leave the Colony shortly after the start of the soccer season and will hand over their fixtures to the Gharwal Rifles.
