Chances went a begging with the soldiers and those that they pounced on were, to say the least, taken so halfheartedly that they didn't worry the Kowloon Motor Bus side at all.

Blackhawks were a poor team to watch at the park yesterday as the old time Saint Joseph's had them plucked to a feather with a shattering 10-5 to knock them off their lofty perch in the League table to land with a beak-jarring nose-dive into a two-way tie for secondary honours.
