150 RIFLEMEN TURN OUT

FOR SUNDAY SHOOT -

MR. MEDHURST ANNEX TROPHY PRESENTED BY POLICE CLUB

Under the auspices of the Hongkong Police Rifle and" Revolver Club, the Hongkong Rifle Association enjoyed one of their best meet- Ings at the Kowloon Rifle Ranges on Sunday, Feb. 2, 150 members being present.

It was originally intended that the day's shooting should com- prise a 10 shot series at 300 yards and a similar shoot at 600 yards; but although firing commenced punctually at 8.45 a.m. at 300 yards with 10 shot series, owing to the number of competitors who turned out, shoofing had to be restricted to a 7 shot series at 600 yards.

In the Team competition the scores were very close, there being only 1 points between the results

Winning Team: Dockyard Rifie Club 327 points,

Club had the better of the game also in the second half, but scored cnly once, through D. T. Smith.

The game produced few cidents worthy of comment, and there was no outstanding play to attract the eye. Whitley's two goals were both excellent ones and he was with Bond at back, out- standing for Club.
