Encouraged by the load of 3-2 the local club was holding at the end of the second day's competition, Mrs. Silva and da Silva started out in convincing form against the Hongkong representatives. Shanghai gained the first point but wes tied when Remedios slashed a pretty shot over the net.
The two Shanghai players were seen working with fine ce-ordination and never allowed themselves to be put into a precarious position. As a result, the lead was on Shanghai's side. Hongkong fought grimly and twice cut down a four-point lead. The first gap was closed after 12-8 and the second after 14-10. In the last rally the Recreio team succeeded in tying the score at 14-all but Lusitano was intent upon winning and made no mistake to reel off the required three tallies and finish the set.
After changing sides, Mrs. Silva and partner lost their grip. Although given a 3-1 advantage in the early stages of the second set, they came to a standstill, with Mrs. Silva making two errors to permit the score to be tied. Remedios put the Colony team in the lead by twice placing the shuttlecock in open spaces within Shanghai's half. Silva began to make mistakes, netting three shots. The local couple played haphazardly and, with Mrs. Silva sending into the net twice more, the visitors had an unsurmountable lead of 11-3.
