Tsz Ling Cup Final Today

The Russian Regiment and Three

Cultures, two of the best Second Division' teams, will meet at the Canidrome this' morning for the honour of capturing the Tsz Ling Cup, the most important junior trophy in the League, Both teams are known for their good performances this season, having only lost one game each, and a close tussle is anticipated. The Chinese are given a bigger chance to win since they boast of such players as K. S. Suen, G. L, Chow and L. K, Chang, all three China International players, in addition to K. D. Sung and Chang, the goalie of the ex-Lido reserve team.

This meeting will be the first between the two teams, The Three Cultures were in the First Division from the edge of the circle. The Harlequins showed little understanding but Lintilhac was a constant danger in the position of centre-forward.

Although the Spartans forward line included such players as P. Bo-lessen, Reuben and Hetherington they failed to make any impression as they were starved by a weak half-line who failed to create any openings for them. Bojesen was easily the onstanding forward but without support from the halves his individual efforts were totally ineffective against a three-back defence. 'The Spartans' forward line did not really get going at all during the whole game.
