The Hongkong Hockey Association Tournament also ended last week, with the Radio Sports Club, champions for the second year in succession. Viewing the tourna- ment table, one realises how close the games have been with regard to points. Four teams, Radio, C.B.A., R.E. and Police have been in close running for the champion ship honours, and after the final encounter only two points separated the winners from the runners-up, and one point separated the runners-up and teams occupying third and fourth places.
