Their Tired Defence

Punctured Five Times By Sharp Busmen

By I. M. MacTAVISH

During last week thousands of Hongkong's keenest football fans struggled and schemed to get tickets for this much publicised meeting of two of the Colony's leading sides. With just a quarter of an hour of the second half gone the same thousands were already streaming out of the ground. disappointed, bitterly disappointed, at what they had seen. Judging by the way some of the Kitchee players looked at the official scoreboard it appeared as though they would willingly have joined the departing throngs ... if only to hide soccer shame.

By "PAK LO”

The Brigade were better in almost every department, for they outhooked, outjumped, and certainly outtaricked the "B" side, yet despite that it took the Brigade all their time to finish victorious. The Brigade threes handled smartly and well, kui the Club, though their tackling was poor, held them at bay by widght of numbers, going for the man with the ball. The result was that the "3" side tired much quicker, for it took two of the men to stop one of the! Brigade's.

Achievement Against Craigengower

By "RECORDER"

Indian Recreation Club came near to a unique achievement for the current season when they fell two wickets short of being the first team to defeat Craigengower.

It would have been a uniqué achievement indeed as they gave themselves 75 minutes to dismiss Craigenrower nt the Valley on Saturday after having batted för 150 minutes.

The IRC batting was ultra- conservative against the de- vastating Craigengower attack, 72 runs being on the board for the loss of five wickets after vome 190 minutes piny.

Craigengower used 45 minutes of their batting time to amars 00 runs for the loss wickels and then dug in.
