Although the 1st XV of the Shanghai Rugby Union Football Club more than held their own in the earlier phases of play, the 1st XV of the Hongkong Football Club gradually assumed the upper hand to win the Interport Rugby match by a goal and three tries (14 points) to a try (3 points), in the game which took place on Thursday afternoon at the Canidrome. A crowd of about 1,500 turned out for the occasion despite the threatening weather, and were treated to some interesting play, made all the more attractive as open movements were very much in evidence.
