WEEK-END FOOTBALL

Army's Sorrowful Day

It was certainly a sorrowful day for the Army during the week end in so far as football was concerned. East Lanes, Fu- siliers and the Lincolns all went down to the Civilian Clubs in their Senior games which were featured by some remarkable re- coveries on the part of the Club and Kowloon, Police had most of the game when they defeated the Lincolns yesterday.

Navy and South China "A" played a drawn game despite ex- tra time being played. Li Tin Sanr had the misfortune to put the ball into his' own goal while Ip Pak Wah after playing a fine game kicked the ground and had to leave the field for the rest of the game. Bad feeling crept up towards the end of the match.

St. Joseph's were decidedly off form when they lost to S. China "B" on Saturday. In this match Dollar was given march- ing orders. It was certainly a very harsh decision on the part- of the referee to do so as up to that part of the game there was no foul play at all and to have ordered a man off without a caution or warning seemed a little drastic from a spectator's point of view.

V

The Lincolns juniors, which have so far retained their 100 per cent, unbeaten record, in the league,' went down to the Sappers yesterday in a fast and exciting shield encounter. Most of the games played were in cup-tie fashion, good barracking being evidenced.

During the week-end, a full programme of league matches in the Senior and Junior Divisions were played. In the premier divi- slon, the Army unexpectedly went down to the Craigengower at the Valley, mainly due to the excellent bowling of A. T. Lee who captured 7 wickets for 31 runs.
