The Lincolns by virtue of their victory over South China are now at the head of the senior league and it looks very much as if they are going on to make a bold bid for the honours. Up to now, the South China. team has not been very convincing and unless some very great improvement occurs in the team, it is not likely that they will win the senior trophy this year. The least said about Sun- day's match, the better, but, no one will quarrel with me when I say that on the run of the game... the soldiers fully deserve their victory.
