FAREWELL!

LEAVING BEHIND A BRILLIANT RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS

HONGKONG LOSES SOME FINE SPORTSMEN

(By "Veritas)

The South Wales Borderers football teams have played their last matches in the Hongkong League, and the game locally is the poorer by the regiment's impending departure from the Colony. Those who have had the pleasure re- gularly of watching the Borderers in action since the start of the 1930-31 season, have felt nothing but admiration for the type of football they have served

up.
