The Council decided to recommend to the Macao Hockey Club that the Interport match, which would this year be played in the Colony, be held during the Chinese New Year Holi- dnys, preferably on the Sunday of Dat week.

REPRESENTATIVE MATCHES The Hon. Secretary sald a number of clubs belonging to the former United Hockey Clubs, had recently called a meeting to nrrange for friendly Axtures among the many clubs invited to attend the meeting. This was perfectly logitimate, but a representative match between the Island, and the Mafaland had been arranged for this Saturday on the Police ground. He felt that any re- presentative match'arranged should be organised by the Hockey Associa- tion.

It was decided that any members of Clubs affiliated to the Association should not be allowed to participato) it any representative match which; was not organised by the Hongkong Hockey Association.
