No surprise results but FIRST HOCKEY DEFEAT FOR

what a Giants vs U.S. Navy match that was!

By OLLY VAS

The weekend softball matches produced no surprises. The White Sox kept at the head of the Junior League table by beating the Indians 12-8 after tralling for the first two innings.

New Asia proved too strong for a gallant Antelopes team in another Junior encounter, the Collegians emerging triumphant in five short innings by 20-3 but in an all-Chinese meeting on Saturday the SCAA team edged out Overseas 8-7.
