At V.R.C. last night the Somerset L.I. improved their position in the league table by obtaining lull points from Kowloon "B." The soldiers put up quite a good exhibition and confounded the. experts most of whom thought Kowloon, "B" would do the trick. The soldiers, however, played well together and stuck to their men, with the result that they.otained a lead of two goals in the first half and increased it to 3-0 before the Anal whistle,

The Kowloon "A" made short work of the opposition put up by the Chinese "A" and finished 6-0 in their favour, Simpson getting four of the six goals. KOWLOON "B". SOMERSETS.
