THE OFFICIAL RESULT-of the Interport hockey game at Macao last Sunday was Macao 3 Hongkong 1.

With the continuous rain throughout the morning, the pitch was in a deplorable state when inspected at 2.30 p.m. The Hongkong umpire, however, declared the ground playable, though several local followers turned several colours at the announcement.

Alleged Inefficiency Of

Football Referee

ALLEGATIONS of inefficiency and complaints against referees occupied the attention of the Hongkong Football Association Council at their monthly meeting yesterday. The matter arose first from incidents in the Kwong Wah-Eastern match on February 23, and secondly from those in the Sing Tao-Kowloon match later.

On the other hand if a club thinks the referee is inefficient, it should make an appeal before, the game starts because once the referee on the field his decisions on points of fact must be final.

LISTLESS KOTEWALL

CUP MATCH

Army-Navy Scoreless Draw

(By "SCRAMBLER")

IN A GAME DEVOID of interest, in which the standard of football served was well below first division, the Navy and Army played to a goalless draw when they met yesterday at Caro- fine Hill in the Kotowall Cup Competition. It was

game in which the rugged Navy defence found themselves up against a smooth Army attack.

.

If anything, Army deserved to win, for during the greater part of the game, they were on the offensive, and only the sterling work put in by Roughley and O'Regan, and the fine goalkeeping of Giff prevented the Army from scoring.

back to bring the ball up, and distributing it with fine preci-

sion to his front men. The two wingers were sound, sending across first time centres. Weir had good understanding with Dufleld on the left,

Hossack was not quite up to form, and although given several chancés, he shot wealdly. Army decidedly lacked shooting practice, for with the exception of Fox, who had a few pot shots at goal, the rest of the forwards were found wanting when well placed.

The Army middle halves were

The Navy wingers were weak compared to their opponents, where if Skinner had been able to get rid of the ball in time and with accuracy, the insido trio would have been able to turn the same to good account. Anderson too was slow, but he put in slightly more effective work than Skinner.

· Army On Top From the start, Army attacked, and Munroe's centre was accepted by Fox, whose parting shot was held by Giff. For a spell the Navy were being bord pushed, and pressure was relieved when O'Regan cleared up fteld. Barber sent Skinner away but the winger wan
