KITCHEE 1, EASTERN 1

THE CHINA MAIL MONDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1956.

THE GOOSE IS WINGED_& 17,000 SOCCER FANS STAY HOME IN MUTE PROTEST!

Says I. M. MacTAVISH

Don't worry too much about the score... the really big shock about this game was the meagre crowd. This was supposed to be one of the show games of the season, The reigning Champions were in opposi- tion to one of the strongest elevens in the Colony and were therefore facing one of the biggest threats to their title. All the big-name pre- season signings were on view... and yet, fantastic as it seems, there were 17,000 empty seats!!!

This game was considered so important and such a certain crowd puller that it was put on at the huge 29,000 seater Hongkong Stadium. How wide of the mark were these pre-match estimates of the planners: the game could have gone on at the Stadium at Boundary Street without causing very much congestion.

27 Brigade Far Too Good For Garrison Island In Saturday's Match

By "PAK LO"

On Saturday I reported in this column that 27 Brigade had carefully selected their best side to play against Garrison Island, and surprisingly enough it turned out to be far too good for the istand side when 27 Brigade won by 8 points (1 goal, I penalty goal) to 3 points (1 penalty goa}) in what can only be described as a dis- appointing game.

Dlsewhere Club "A" smashed through the weak defence of RAF Mainland to win handsomely by 36 points (4 gods, 4 tries, 1 dropped goul) to 6 points (2 penalty goals) whilst at Sekong 48 Brigade proved too good for the Navy whom they humbled by 20 points (1 goal, 5 tries) to 9 points (3 tries), and at Kai Tak as ex- pected Garrison Mainland won comfortably by a final score of 29 points (4 goals, # tries) to 6 points (1 goal).
