UNLUCKY WOODCOCK BADLY INJURED

Army Pivot Knocked Out In Accidental Clash With His Own Goalkeeper

By I. M. MacTAVISH

A blistering strength-sapping sun drained the vitality out of this very ordinary end-of-the-season First Division game and both the victorious busmen and the defeated soldiers must have been glad when it was all over.

KMB won by four goals to one but there was a touch of fortune about two of their goals. They certainly were the better side but they might have had to fight a great deal harder than they did if it had not been for defensive slips in the Army rear lines.

The busmen started off with a most interesting line-up which had Lau Kai-chiu at centre-half, Chow Shiu-hung at centre- forward, and Lam Kam-tong at outside-left with regular winger Lau Shu-wah operating in the inside position.
