PARADE

It

Due to the inclement weather last Thursday the six-a-side. hockey games were postponed. was hoped to complete all fixtures by July 20 80 that the Knock-Out Competition could go ahend. But it seems as though the weather has other ideas.

Games so far postponed are: BMH Hongkong versus Headquarters Land Forces, Camp Staff versus No. 1 Sqn HK Sig Regt, Provost versus Pay 'A', and RE 'A' versus BMH Hong- kong.

No doubt the Committee will, they were certainly made to fight ft these games during the all the way for their victory. current League champianship, and so maintain interest all the way through.

There is no doubt whatsoever that six-a-side hockey is very popular in the Colony, and that it is a fruitful source for the supply of feld hockey talent.

Unfortunately few of our seratch sportsmen stait from these days. Rather they ready made, but it is always a Joy to be able to find the athlete that has started from scratch.

Pay *I stil continue on their winning way. They were once again succesful against Provost last Friday winning by five goals to four.

Crucial Match

No quarter was asked for, er given in this crucial guLSTU. Provost, fighting from the word go, were always u threat, and never allowed Pay 'B' to get on top of them. In spite of changes. due to postings, the Pulicemen

For the winners, Beardsley was a lower of strength in de- fenee, and his team have much to thank him for.

The second game between Hedquarters Land Forces and BALI was an absolute thriller. The Medics' started this off quille certain that two points were is the best and that they would wh by a wide margin loo.

Booth was always spurring his team on to greater efforis, but Sullivan for once wasn't taking advantage of all his up- portunities.

Wonderful Spirit

This very

novice team of RE 'B' are really to be con- gratulated on their fighting spirit,

At the

the start of Acon at one of their team had really played six-a-side hockey before, and walls and angles were 50 much a mystery to them. Not one of the remaining teams in the league have been able to re- inx against them, and have always had to fight for their victory. Although RE have played il games to date, and have only collected one point, ther really deserve all the praise for their wonderful *pirit.

The Arst game on Tuesday evening between Provost and Camp Stuf resulted in a 2-2 draw. With the concrete plich shimmering in the heat, both teams got down to playing some good hockey. Hobertson very was always looking for the ball, and played a very good game indeed,
