Gave South China Senior Shield Victory

By I. M. MACTAVISH

South China are through to the next round of the Senior Shield. Before some 17,000 spectators at the Hongkong Stadium yester- but once day they beat the Army by three goals to two again their victory was as precarious as any victory could be and the soldiers would not have been flattered had they they might quite easily earned the right of a replay have won.

The real tragedy of this game, however, was in the grandstand where Holland, the Army's star centre-forward, must have squirmed and sweated in his injury enforced inactivity.

Running For Senior Title With 5-1 Win Over IRC

By TONY MYATT

Recreio 'A' played themselves into the running for the senior Hockey League title when they beat Indian Recreation Club 'A' by five goals to one at Sookumpoo yesterday,

There was never any doubt as to who were the masters in this encounter. The Portuguese dominated play from start to finish and their forward line split the IRC defence wide open with some fine moves down the wings.
