FIRM STAND BY H.K.F.A. COUNCIL.

REPLY TO COMPLAINTS OF FIVE CHINESE CLUBS.

NO CHANGE OF ATTITUDE.

THE REPLY of the Hongkong Football Association to the five Chinese clubs, who recently resigned membership in response to an invitation to reconsider, and, made general charges of autocratic, unhelpful and - unsympathetic methods, has been forwarded to the clubs concerned and released for publication.

The Association declines to re-consider any or either of the resolutions passed at the Council meeting of October 13, declares that there is no basis for the accusations, and indicates that the withdrawal of the resignations must precede any further discussion of the subject.

One interesting point emerges. The Malayan Chinese tour was undertaken with the sanction of the Singapore Football Association and was, therefore, properly accredited. The Council's letter is somewhat difficult to follow without association with the Chinese letter which was published on November 4.
