Start of the Season

IN a blaze of sunshine, and a temperature making the most exacting demands of players, league football opened in Hongkong on Saturday. Results ran pretty well accord- ing to expectations, although the Borderers came a nasty tumble in the second division against the Navy.

SPEAKING generally the standard of play was worthy, and all teams acquitted themselves well. Yesterday, up to the time a heavy rain storm broke over the ground, South China and Athletic engaged in a classic But the players! exhibition of football. spirits drooped in sympathy with the condi- tions, and all the sparkle went out of the con- test during the last 20 minutes.

If this match had ended as a goalless draw, as it seemed certain to do until two minutes from the end, the result would have been fairer.

The Lincolns were the botter all-round team, but the dashing raids of Kowloon in the first half earned them the larger share of! the game and in the second half Kowloon's defence held out so stubbornly under steady pressure that they were most unfortunate to lose by a fluke goal on the-stroke- of time.

CLUB STRIKE NEW NOTE

FORWARDS DISPLAY INITIATIVE AGAINST ROYAL ARTILLERY

(By "Veritas").

Individual opportunism gave the Club three of the four goals which led to their triumph over the Royal Artillery in the opening league match of the season.

It was a game of contrasts, with hard endeavour rather than skill playing, a notable part, The Artillery were never more, decisively beaten all last season than on Saturday. This, I aver, in spite of the balance of foss, being against them.
