In view of Macao's moderate showing against Recreio and the Kumaon Rifles during the Chinese New Year, one has to ask himself, "Is this going to be the year of home victory at last for Hongkong?"

Here is the interport record to date: 1934 Hongkong drew at Hongkong 1-1. 1935 Hongkong won at Macao 3-1. 1936 Hongkong lost at Hongkong 0-1. 1937 Hongkong won at Macao 1-0. 1938 Hongkong lost at Hongkong 0-1. 1939 Hongkong drew at Macao 2-2.
