Play opened fast but feeling soon crept into the gano and, hard knocks were taken and given. The Athletic were the first to attack and McDougall was called upon to clear. A scramble in the KO.S.B.'s goal area with McDougall on the ground ended with a free kick for the KO.S.B.'s. At the other end Skeggs sent across the goalmouth and Stephens beat Lau with a high shot. A drop down by the referee in the penalty area fed to a little friction between two opponents who sparred up but no blows were struck.

Chan Woon Yin levelled the score.. halfway through the second half. A centre by Skegge ended with a penalty being given against the Athletic which Toal converted.

During the next attack by the K.O.S.B., Toal and Mak Kwok Tang met heavily and the incident led to the suggestion of a fight and both men being ordered off the field The teams as reported abore. finished with ten men each, the re- sult being a win for the K.O.S.B.'
