Portuguese Defeated by the Harlequins In the final round of the knockout competition at Hongkew Park on Saturday afternoon, the Harlequins defeated the Portuguese by three goals to one. The losers were not easy opponents and for long 't appeared as if the prophecies about a draw in the last encounter for the League Shield were to be realized. As it was, there was very little to choose between the form displayed by the respective teams Only by their sound defence did the Harlequins eventually hold the upper hand, and had it not been for Jones, in goal, and Mann and Harvie, of the rearguard, the Portuguese would certainly have proved the victors.
In the first half of the game, Tilley opened the scoring for the Harlequirs, and Remedios equalize ed for the Portuguese. Later in the game Richardson and Morgaa added goals, thus giving the Harlequins the victory, which makes them champions for this season.
