The Hongkong Club receive the Recreio who to date hold an unbeaten certificate this season.

The E.0.5.B.'s and Artillery meet on HONGKONG GOLF CLUB, the Garrison ground and a very evenly contested game should be seen. The K.O.S.B.'s have a very good forward line, McClinchy being the star, but their defence is not very sale.
