Club XV's Return To Home Ground

TAKE ON THE TWO RAF TEAMS THIS AFTERNOON

AT THE

THE VALLEY

By PAK LO

The Club return this afternoon after a long absence to their own ground, when both the "A" and "B" sides will be on show. The "B" XV takes on RAF Kai Tak at 3.15 p.m. and Club "A" face RAF Little Sai Wan, That the airmen are fielding two sides today is rather surprising considering that the full RAF side will be playing in the Pentangular on Wednesday.

On the other side of the harbour on the Army Boundary Street the ground at 3.15 p.m. 32 Medium Regiment take on 1st Tanks, and following this on the same ground at 4.30 p.m. Whitfield clash with the Northumberland Fusiliers.

It the other match of the afternoon, the Police are the visitors nt Sckong, where at 3.15 p.m. they meet 5th Field Regi- ment.
