Chinese Win With Greatest Ease

By "Referee"

THE CHARITY FOOTBALL GAME between teams representing the Rest of the Colony “A” and Combined Chinese “A”, which the latter won by 5 goals to 1 at Causeway Bay yesterday, was very dis- appointing in that a large number of the chosen players for the Rest team did not turn out and even then there were not sufficient reserves to call upon with the result that players had to be recruited from the stand and in one case a player who had just finished a game was asked to participate in the | Senior game.

Edward was a trifle short with his run-up approach and was un- lucky to take 5 to Groves 4 there by losing what was undoubtedly one of the closest matches in this year's Club championship.

Owens, on the right wing, did a lot of useful work and it is gratifying to note that he has been chosen for the B.W.OF. charity game on New Year's day. Both in this game and the previous he has shown that in good company he is a useful right- winger.
