SEAFORTHS BRAWN CUP SURPRISE CHAMPIONS RECREIO RUN RIOT

Fine Performance With Ten Players

C.B.S. "A" Scores

Eight Times Displaying all-round superiority,

the C.B.S. "A", present champions, ran riot on the "" ground at King's Park last Saturday when they de feated the home team by eight goals without reply.

The schoolgiris, after some spirited play in the first half, led by 3-0 at the interval. Miss M. Shand (1)

and Miss D, McCaw (2) were the scorers.

The Seaforth Ladles did well to defeat the Recreio tadics in their Brawn Cup fixture

on the C.B.A. ground last Saturday by 1-0. Mrs. Wlinott was the goal-scorer.

Although the Seaforths deserved full credit for their victory, as they were playing with one short, Recreio were unfortunate in not equalising as they played a much improved game in the second half and kept their opponents away from Ladies Seaforth their goal The dominated play before the interval, Mrs. Ackroyd and Mrs. Wilnot

Mackay and Mrs. MacLeod, were exceptionally good with thele hard

After the interval the Recreio should have scored on at least two occasions, Miss M. Remedios and Miss M. da Rosa fulling to convert when well within the circle. They,

Rajputana Rifles Held By Police XI Drawn Game In United League

Playing well within themselves, the Rajputana Rifles and the H.K. Police drew 1-1, when they met in the United Clubs league, on the Prince Edward Road Army ground on Tues- day.

There was no stopping the school- girls in the second half; they just did as they pleased while Lie defence crumpled up. Miss Paddy. Pasco, in goal, had practically no- thing to do as the opposing attack

The halves, F. McKelvie, Norg Witchell and Dorothy Watson, were excellent. Miss Witchell in paril- cular was outstanding at centre-half with her intelligent passing and keen tackling. She kept too keen a look- out on Miss V. Bradbury for the latter to be dangerous.

Further goals were scored by Miss D. McCaw (4) and Miss N. Shand (1). The latter, at inside right, contributed largely to brilliant schoolgirls attack.The aplendid openings she made led to most of the goals.

The "Y" Ladies seemed a very weak team and very rarely worked up an offensive. They improved in the second holt. The forwards, Miss V.

Miss Fowler as pivot, worked hard but received little support from the rest of her defence. This

clearly shows the

strength of the C.B.S. "A" as they were without two-of-their-star players, the Misses Booker.

NOT SEEN IN USUAL FORM

MADE LIGHT OF TASK AGAINST CLUB-POLICE

(By "Abo")

The Neon-light signboard of the Nanyang Tobacco Factory as well as the majority of the lights in the neighbourhood had been lit by the time the exhibition soccer match played between the Islington Corinthians and the combined team of the Hong- kong F.C. and the Police concluded at Happy Valley yesterday; but during the previous 70 minutes the tourists gave another dis- play of their clover ball control and fine positional play,

T. A. Pearce (Club), F. A. Fowler. (Club), Howlett (Police) and Bick- ford (Club).

Probably the most interesting part of the game was that all but two of the touring players were on view- a sensible arrangement in view of the fact that most of the people who attended were there with the intention of seeing as much of the Islington Corinthians 13 possible. The tourists changed several men in the second half, bringing out 18 players in all. Only Dick Torrant and G. Pearce did not take part.
