The Loague champions have every hope of scoring the “double", and their match against the very lowly placed Saints to-morrow will, ba looked forward to with interest.

Saints Not Discouraged

St Joseph's College are not discouraged by the fine showing of South China in their recent games, and they are also going all out to clinch the issue, with Guy return- ing to their fold.
