COMMENTARY

Royal Navy Upset Sing Tao At Causeway Bay

Splendid Goal-keeping By Both Robinson And Cheong Wing-choy

(By "SCRAMBLER")

NAVY TEAM were responsible for one of the season's upsets in the premier division of the soccer league yesterday at Causeway Bay, when they inflicted a two to one defeat on the Sing Tao, one of the chief conten- dors for the Championship. The game was featured by the brilliant de- fonce put up by the winners, and the superb goal-keeping of both Robinson and Choong Wing-choy.

EXCELLENT DEFENCE

Week-end Golf

The mainstay of the Navy team was their defence, W.C. Hung Wins

and, on the day's play, the Chinese had to take second place, for despite the heroic work put in by Lee Tin sang and Hou Yung-sang, they were outclassed by backs that gave nothing away, and who by their robust and first-time tackling robbed the Chinese attack of much of their sting.

The Navy were full value for their points, for they kept up an incessant attack, supported fully by their intermediate trio. The work of Roughley and O'Regan at back stamped their display ns. par excellence, for it was due to this pair that most of the Chi nese attacks fritlered away, for whenever the Chinese threaten- ed their goal, it was either Roughley or O'Regan who would come up to relieve the situation Their by timely clearances. coverings and anticipations were 123 very much to the fore.

Rough Play In Club-Army Rugger Match

ROUGH PLAY, necessitating words of caution from the referee, was the feature of the Army-Club Quadran- gular Rugby Tournament match on the Club ground on, Saturday, when Club beat Army by 5 points (a goal) to 3 (a try) after leading at the interval.

Poor handling somewhat marr- ed the game, contributing as it did to a disappointing standard of play. Weak passing was in turn partly responsible for the poor handling. In this Car- ruthers, who figured in two

runs, brilliant

rendered his efforts abortive in that his passing was wild and impossible to take.
