By I. M. MACTAVISH

In the gathering gloom at Caroline Hill late yesterday afternoon the hands on the clock indicated that only a minute remain- ed for play. The scoreboard showed that Tung Wah led by four goals to three and as referee Mak Yeung-fai looked at his watch the Army launched a last fling attack.

As the ball landed in Wong Siu-woo's arms, centre-forward Hol- land catapulted himself through the air towards him. The goalkeeper visibly shirked the impending physical crash but fortunately for the Chinese boys the ball was scrambled away from the goalline. It was a matter of inches and seconds!! Tur!
