HONGKONG 3, SINGAPORE 2
THE LAW STRIKES THREE TIMES AND RECOVERS THE AW HOE CUP
By I. M.
MacTAVISH
From drab to dramatic, from methodical to mediocre, from casual to captivating and, as far as the home players were concerned, from all is lost to everything in the garden is lovely. That was the grim gamut of sensation that was experienced at Caroline Hill yesterday as Hongkong staged a thrilling second half recovery to put the beautiful Aw Hoe Cup on a local sideboard.
But whatever the final result of this replayed Cup-tle there are many facts about the game that cannot be concealed. The first of these is that Hongkong did not play to form or reputation and should never have been in the position of having to make a desperate eleventh hour effort to pull the match out of the fire. They should have had the result securely tied up long before the end.
