POLICE DEFEATED

Fusiliers Win In United Hockey Tournament

Fusillers and the Hongkong Police in The meeting of the Royal Welch

the United Hockey Tournament on the PTS. ground on Tuesday 'pro- duced a high standard of play, both teams being in splendid form.

Pressing hard in the first half, the Fusiliers were rewarded when Sgt. Dandy sent in a hard shot which re- bounded from the goal-keeper's pads

and Vaughan put the ball into the net.

After the interval, the Police got very near to scoring but their play was spoilt by too much individual effort. The Fusiliers obtained. their second goal through a splendid sole run by Roberts, the outside left.

The game ended with the Fusiliers winning by 2-0.
