COMMENTARY

NAVY FORWARDS FAIL AGAINST SOUTH CHINA "B"

Chinese Defenders CLUB BEAT NAVY

Stand Up Well Against A Persistent Attack

(By "Rex")

Despite scoring the first goal and almost completely monopolising the game, Royal Navy failed in their efforts to score further in their First Division League soccer game, allowing South China "B" to run away with the honours by three goals to one.

Both goalkeepers played brilliant games, but Robin- son was more often tested. Cheung had an almost easy time throughout. A feature of the game was the rattled manner in which Navy forwards appeared when faced with only Cheung to beat.

IN RUGBY TOURNAMENT

Royal Navy were without some of their star players, Hendy and Honeywell being on the injured list, while Mid- dleton and Coles have left the Colony. Kellow came in for Honeywell at left-back, O'Regan taking the pivot position with Hazzard, their first reserve, at centre-forward. Britt came in for Coles in the left half position and Wotten was initiated to the left-wing position for Middleton. South China "B" had two changes, Tam Chun-fai deposing Lau Wai-pui at left-half and Cheung Moon-wing came in for Luk Yat-hung, at left-wing, both being on the injured Navy-South China "fi" match at Causeway Bay yesterday. The Chinese team won by 3-1-ing Yuen. list. Chan Tak-fai came off the injured list to occupy the centre-forward position.

CHARITY HOCKEY GAMES

Superb Kicking By Paul Fails To Save Sailors. From 19-13 Defeat

(By "Fly-half")

THE ROYAL NAVY, fielding a team much below the strength of their regular T. T. teams, on Saturday on their own ground put up a stiff resistance to Club's superiority. Although they did not once penetrate Club's defence they never gave up trying.

They were very forceful towards the later stages of the first half, when Paul by his superb kicking had reduced their deficit to one point and had thus placed his team in an unexpectedly advantageous position, for bringing off a Navy win

It was not to be however, for Club went further ahead just after the restart through a try by Stewart, which was again added to when Charter got over for a try which was converted by Castleton, before Navy gained other points.
