The Chinese Recreation Club "B" team completed their League fixtures on Saturday and a review of the acason shows that they were represented by the same side in ten out of the cleyen matches. The team was composed of C. Chos and H. Lo, Cheung Wing Kue and Lau Fuk Ki, and Lau Man Ching and Iu Tak Cheunk. Of these C. Choa, H. Lo, Lan Fuk Ki and Lau Man Ching were members of last year's on victorious team. Cheung Wing Kue played in the."C" Division last year and has been promoted because of his steadiness and tenacity, while In Tak Cheuk is a valuable acquisi- tion from the University where, last year, he was under-graduate. A reserve was played in the match against South China, Cheng Chi Wing taking the place of Cheung King Kuc who was unable to get away, as it was day in mid-week.

The Chinese head the Table with ten points and despite their reverse at the hands of the United Services Recreation Club on Saturday, they are still favourites for the Shield

Their performances this season have been even better than last year as the following reca of their matches shows:-
