Fire Service teams did particularly well in the Hong Kong Chinese Civil Servant's Sports Association Inter-Departmental Meet, winning 11 out of the 13 main events. The Service teams also participated in Athletic Competitions conducted by the Urban Services, the Police, Hong Kong Lions, Royal Air Force and Hong Kong Post-Secondary Colleges.

Table Tennis
72. The Table Tennis team won the Governor's Cup of the Hong Kong Chinese Civil Servants' Sports Association Inter-Departmental Competition for the third year in succession, thus retaining it perma- nently for the Service.
Discipline

Disciplinary cases may be summarized as follows:
(i) Number of cases

(a) reduction in rank
