Week-End Sport

4

The sports programme for this afternoon promises to be an exceptionally fine one, for apart from the fact that the selected Interport footballers will be on view, there is the Second Divi- sion League cricket match between the Kowloon Cricket Club and the Police Recreation Club which is more or less in the form of the finale of Junior Cricket this sonsun, for it will be on the re- sult of this game that the destination of the shield will be decided.

For those who are keen on hockey, the fusi ladies' Interport trial ought to prove excellent entertainment and though the com- > position of the team is almost a foregone conclusion, it will be interesting to wach the form of the many candidates for Inter- part honours.

Apart from the above, there will be the yachting at the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club at North Point while, in view of the fact that the annual tennis championships are fast drawing near, the tennis courts in the clubs whose grounds are not otherwise engaged, will be fully occupied by those preparing for the tournament. For to-morrow there will be the usual Sunday football matches and though hiking has not yet become an "organised sport" in the Colony, many private parties have been planned for the week-end.
