BAD LUCK

Perhaps Owen flughes relied too much on the upset that had taken place but he went too far when he played one gently to silly mid-off and called Gillespie, Although the latter was backing well up he was out by yard.

South China "B", the holders, and their senior team, South China "A", have been favoured by the draw for the second round of the Senior Shield made at yesterday's Council Meeting of the H.K.F.A. The holders are opposed to the Royal Artillery (Lyemun) and the "A" team to Kowloon. SENIOR SHIELD
