Association Win Governor'

First Time Since 1937: Federation Defeated 2-0: Bankier Brilliant

(By "SCRAMBLER")

A DAZZLING DISPLAY of goalkeeping by Bankier, featured the Governor's Cup replay yesterday at Carolino. Hill, when the Association triumphed over the Chinese Federation by two goals to nil after a goalless first half. Much of the Association's success in this game can be laid at the door of the fine intermediate trio, Freshwater, Bright, and Thomas, especially Bright, who was in his best form.

Triumph For The Defence

Against a strong wind during the first half, the Association were unable to make much headway, and were it not for the fine work put in by Bankier, who saved at least three certain goals in this half, and for the splendid co-operation of their halves, the Association would have found themselves in arrears; as it was, they more than held their own, and with the wind in their favour after the change over, they had quite as much of the play as the losers.

It was a splendid game all round with plenty of excitement`

Police Draw Hockey In Macao

MACAO, Apr. 27. - Despite threatening rain a large crowd assembled to watch a fine hockey match here this afternoon when the Hongkong Police team engaged the senior eleven of the Macao Hockey Club. The teams were very evenly matched and the result was a draw with up goals scored.

The Police enjoyed the better of the exchanges during the first half, while Macao was seen to for better advantage after the interval,
