Kwong Wah Fortunate To Draw England Deservedly Beat

Navy Forwards

Fail

Moments: Chinese Defence Holds Out

(By "Scramblor")

FIELDING an all Chinese team for the first time this season, Kwong Wah wore decidedly for- tunate to snatch a point from the Royal Navy yes. terday when they met at Causeway Bay in their First Division football game, sharing eight goals. Though the standard of play served up by both teams was not up to First Division standard, nevertheless, the game was not without its ex- citement.

The slippery state of the ground and ball were not conducive to good football, and the Navy were able to adapt themselves to the conditions more easily than the Kwong Wah. The bright spots in the game were the fine display given by Le Page and Phippens on the Navy's right flank, and Cheuk Shek-kam and Wong King-chung on Kwong Wah's left flank. Danger from either team in- variable came from these sources.

HOW TEAMS FARED

The Navy were unlucky not |****************** to have got away with the two points, for during the greater part of the second half they were on the offensive and had the Kwong Wah penned in their Kowloon own half. Hendy was a grent Club trier and aided and abetted Le Sing Tao Page and Phippens to a great NAVY extent in their fine display,

lind the Navy forwards moved the ball about more frequently instead of trying to take it up to the feet of their opponents, more goals would have been produced.
