An interesting rugby match was played yes.. terday afternos on the Hongkong Football Club Ground between the above teams la con uection with the Triangular Contest. The game was of a fast pature from start to fials. In the first half the naval mon led by 7 points to aff but at a later stage of the game, the Army warmed up and scored two goals, thus gaining an advantage of three polats over the Navy. The score remained unaltered till the end of the game. The match thus resulted in a vice tory for the Army by 10 points to 7.
It is interesting to toe that the latter ball of play witnessed
