"R. ABBIT" REVIEWS THE CRICKET

MATCHES PLAYED World's Best LAST SATURDAY Flyweights

CLUB SCORES win over Great Britain ARMY WITH LAST BALL

The match between the H.K.C.C. and the Army was played on matting last Saturday at Sookunpoo and both sides were fairly near full strength. Stokes could not keep wicket owing to a damaged band and he went down to the second while J. H. Fox went to keep for the first and did quite well. The Army had Hatfield and Coombes playing and I learn now that they will be here during the season. This will make a lot of difference to the Army side

I think.

It is a commentary on the absurd hours fixed by the League that had this been league match there would have been another quarter of an hour play, (That 0.05 on the Navy card is incorrect).
