Shield No League Or Games To Be Played Under Floodlights

Council Members of the Hongkong Football Associn. tion revealed yesterday at a meeting with Mr C. 8. Wang in the Chair that they were satisfied with the floodlighting at both the Club and South China Stadia, but at the same time voted and carried the motion that no League or Shield games would be played under artificial lighting.

Mr Leslie Channing, Chairman of the Grounds Sub- Committee, proposed that the present system of reserving septs for servicemen, players and schoolboys for Interport matches be abolished.
