AROUND THE GROUNDS

SOUTH CHINA ”B” TAKE LEAD IN FIRST DIVISION

So

MOUTH China "p" asfumed leadership of the First Division in the Hongkong Football League over the récek-end. Both Kowloon and Middlesex, the League leaders, were defeated, and following their win over Middlesna by the comfortable margin of five goals to ono, South China "B" went ahead. The Scaforth Highlanders also created an upset when they beat South China "A" and they have also gone ahead of Kowloon and Middlesex. The highest-scoring match of the present scason teas that between the Club and Kowloon Chinese; the former won by 8—3.

RECORD STILL GOOD

HAT the success, of South China "B" is due riot so much to their brilliance 09

all-round 10. Uteir strength was again demonstrated on Saturday when they met and defented Middlesex by Ave gonts to one at Caroline Hill. Territorially they did the not have the advantage over military side, but the opportunism of their forwards enabled them to score what appears to be, on paper, a very easy victory. This succos, coincid ing with the defent of Kowloon, has taken South Chinn "B" to the top of the table. There is no doubt that they deserve the honour; they are ploying extremely well new as a team and are probably the most well- balanced aide in the League.
