These teams also met in the final of the Shield competition two seasons ago when, after playing a goalless draw, the East Surreys won the replay by three guals to one.

Today, the game should be well con- tested and will be of ninety minutes duration, extra time being played if necessary..

Clarke was early defending his charge from shots by Marcel and Collaco, Watson took the ball well down before he was forced to take a wild shot at goal. Guterres almost beat Clarke with fast drive that kept low. Hongkong's inside forwards were slow in front of goal and failed to take advantage of good openings made by their defence. At the interval the score sheet was blank.
