CIVILIANS WIN LAI WAH

Army Forwards

Fail

To Grasp Opportunities: Penalty Missed!

(By "SCRAMBLER")

ENJOYING MORE OF THE play territorially, Army were decisively beaten five goals to two by the Civilians when they met in the final of the Lai Wah Cup yesterday on Club ground. The highlights of the game wore the fine performances of both keepers, Bankier and Lapsley, who brought off many fine and daring saves. At the conclusion of the game, the trophy and souvenirs were presented to the winning team by H.E. Major General A. E. Grasett, the G.O.C.
