Revealing-splendid form, the Sing Tao 1st defeated Royal Navy yesterday on the Club ground before a capacity crowd by 5-2. The score cannot be taken as a criterion of the play, as the Navy had as much of the play as the Sing Tao, and only their hesitancy in parting with the ball, coupled with their lack of cohesion, prevented them from adding to their score. Whereas Sing Tao indulged in pretty passing, the Navy were far too individualistic.

There was more 'understanding and team play in the Sing Tao's eleven: "As a schemer, Fung King-cheung was there when--- ever needed, and his co-operation with his other forwards was al treat to watch.
