From first to last in this game Kitchee were in command and towards the end it was merely a question of how many goals they would score before the final whistle blew.

This was preceded by a game between the Rest of Services and the Rest of the Colony which the Services won fairly easily by 13 points (2 goals, 1 drop goal) to 3 points (1 penalty).
