THE HONGKONG TELÉGRAPH, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1947:

..SPORTS FEATURES..

Seven first division matches · to-day; the first round of the Governor's Cup at the Club Ground to- morrow and Hongkong versus Manila at Manila to- morrow. Another busy week-end for local footballers,

There are two "needle" · games this afeṛnoon. The Inniskillings (who gave Kitchee such a bad fright last Sunday) entertain the lively South China team at Sookunpoo; while at Causeway, after the Navy and 'the Artillery have done their stuff, there is a real battle royal in prospect, for Kitchee (league leaders) meet their strongest challengers, the Kowloon Motor Buimen.

H.K. Football Team Flying To Manila

Tomorrow

(BY "SEE TEE")

It is a sign of the advanced state of modern, travel, that a band of Hongkong footballers will board a plane at about seven o'clock tomorrow morning at Kai Tak in order to fulfil a soccer engagement in Manila for the sume afternoon. Provided the plane meets no unusual flying conditions, it could be said that this football party is undertaking no very special trip. The air passage shop i take a little less than four hours no longer than the train journey from London to the Midlands.
