DIVISION II.

SOUTH CHINA "A" NAVY.

The South China "A" team "lost to a strong Navy team at Caroline Hill by three goals to nil. The Navy should have piled up more goals had their forwards been better in front of goal. Sorbie was in fine form for the winners, but Clarke and. Hasseli were not up to usual standard. Sorbie opened; the score having gathered a fine centre from Sweet South China made great efforts to get their forwards too going, but the defence was strong.

RECREIO R.A.F.

Gosano and Santos, the later being responsible for some very clever movements The Airmen took the lead through Gallagher, but C. Gosano beat Jarvis with a neat shot.

The rivalry between these teams was well fought out on the Garrison ground at Sookunpoo, the result being a draw of one goal all. The Queen's started favourites in view of their crushing defeat of the R.A in midweek, while the Gunners had previously beaten the Borderers this season in the league.

The game Was A needles one throughout and the result in doubt until the final whistle sounded. The Queen's opened strongly but failed against a sound K.D.S.B, defence. Barclay and Caldicutt were always dangerous but the opening goal came from the opposite wing Larkin beating McDougall from pras by Cantor.

to score.

Half-time: Queen's 1,∙K.O.S.B. 0. Resuming, the Borderers attacked in great style and Dodds in the Queen's goal was kept busy. Torrie did well on the Borderers right but his fine centres were not turned to account until McGlinchey got his

head to one and levelled the score. The Queen's then attacked strong ly but the Borderers defence held out. The middle line, ably led by Davy, broke down the Queen'e at talk and when the final whistle sounded the E.O.S.B. were attack- ing strongly.
