Association Win Governor's Cup China And India Retain

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 Caroline 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

In this respect Bright was a tower of strength, and had the fast Chinese inside trio of Hyul-Lec-Taao well cover- ed.
