Return Match Between Kowloon and Country Club

(By "Birdio")

THE BREAK in the weather at Fanling and Shoungshui on Sunday was welcome to golfers, and several of the competitions thoro were able to got under way. The benefit of the fall was found on the greens, which, ovon the sand ones at the Country Club, were very playable.

First round matches of the Captain's Cup and the Men's Foursomes, and the final of the Women's Cham- pionship were played at the Country Club, while the first round matches of the Junior Championship were settled at the R.H.K.G.C.

The Kowloon Golf Club course in one that takes more favoura- bly to rain, by which of course, I don't mean the stuff that fell last year. New bunkers are going up around the short 2nd, forcing a player to pitch on the green to avoid trouble.

Bunkers around Kreens ore tho only means of teaching people to play approach shots correctly, and nt Kowloon there is very IRUe, danger of over-running once one lands on them.

DESERVEDLY, through better all-round team work, Royal Engineers "B" captured top honours in the Army Small Units Rugby League yesterday when they beat Royal Scots "B" 9 points (three tries) to nil, after leading 3-0 at the interval.

It was a great day for Birrell, who scored all three trics for Sappers. The former Army players and left wing three was in brilliant form despite the handicap of the ground.
