Navy Defence

Goal:

Lapses In Second Half

A GAME marked with thrills and with nover a dull moment throughout was the Navy versus Eastern match played at the Hongkong Club ground yesterday with the Eastern coming out victors by six goals to two.

The score is no indication of the run of play which was very fast with the ball swinging from one end to the other with great rapidity.

The hero of the hour was Robinson, at goal, who saved time and again from point blank shots and several times going full length to turn almost certain goals into

corners.
