Florinhas Give Improved Display Against Recreio

BY "R.O.Y.".

Under discouraging weather conditions, only a handful of hardy fans turned out at the Kowloon Football Club last Sunday, when the day's programme of five comparatively lopsided matches were decid- ed. Opening the card, the Ramblerettes trounced the Little Flower Club by 21 tallles to 9. despite the latter squad being reinforced by Gerry the inclusion of Redbirds Betty Fitzgerald and Gilly Motta, Jorge hurled steady ball for the winners who were never hard-push- ed although the Florinhas showed welcome improvement, especially in their running of the bases. Ding Lopes connected for a triple to be the longest hitter of the game, while Betty Fitzgerald doubled with the sacks loaded.
