Royal Scots will play Sing Tue on Sunday at Sookunpoo and they will have to give a much better performance than in their last three or four matches if they want to share, or even take points from Sing Tao who cannot afford to lose at this time, when they arc fighting for League Championship honoura
Middlesex will have a hard game on Saturday against Kow- loon, who are next to them in the League. The Middies are ahead of all the non-Chinese teams in this League and they win this match, they wil have a good chance of remaining in this posi- tion for the rest of the season.
