The Hong Kong Cricket Club started strongly, winning two sets in each of the first two rounds.

Kowloon thus needed to win all the sets in the third round. In this they were nearly successful, and in fact led at the beginning in all the sets. The crisis was reached in the match between T. Lay and S. E. Gryen (Kowloon) and Sewell and Humphrey's. The former leading by 3-3 and 40 love allowed their opponents to equalise 3 all. They led again at 3-5 and had 10-15 in their favour, but failed to maki | good with the result that the Hong Kong pair eventually won.
