Crucial Softball Clash

A

SECOND-PLACED BRAVES AND SOUTH CHINA TO FIGHT OUT ELIMINATION MATCH

By OLLY VAS

The important Junior league match between the Dodgers and Cardinals having been postponed, interest in the wook-end softball games will be contrød instead on the South China AA and Bravos Senior game down for decision at 11.00 a.m.

The Saints lead the Senior division with two losses while S.C.A.A. and the Bravos are tied for second place with three defeats to date.

THREE HEXANGULAR RUGBY GAMES TODAY

Club-RAF

Encounter

At Boundary Street Best Of Afternoon

By PAK LO

Once again there are only three major matches this afternoon, all of them on the Kowloon side, as the Club "B" and RAF “B” have been unable to find opponents. This has become the regular thing these days, and these two teams are only finding opposition midweek.

What should turn out to be the best game of the afternoon takes place on the Police Roundary Street ground at 4.16 p.m. when Club clashes with the RAF.

Both are used to playing fat open rugby, and the RAF Live line has been classed as second only to that of the Club, So 35 spectators should really come fireworks today.
