POLICE WIN CLUB HANDICAP MATCH
Sgt. Cooper,

On Top Of His Form
R.A.F. RAPID IMPROVEMENT
THE SUNDAY SHOOT ORGANISED - BY MR. AUSTIN, OF THE DOCKYARD'RIFLE CLUB, IN SPITE OF THE THREATENING WEATHER, PROVED A GREAT SUCCESS. Some 130 members attended and eight clubs entered for the Club Handicap Match, the prize for which was presented by the Dockyard Rifle Club and took the form of silver spoons, modelled on the shape of a rifle, to each member of the team.
This match which was won by the Hongkong Police, just getting in front of the donors of the prize, has proved to be a successful change from the usual scratch teams as it provides a chance for the large handicap man and also some surprises.
