SING TAO GOES DOWN TO ISTHMIAN 3-2
London, Sept. 4.
The Isthmian League-tonight defeated the Sing
Tao Football Club, of Hong Kong, by three- goals to two. The half-time score was a goal cach. Although losing by the odd goal of five at Romford, Sing Tao appear to have remedied their greatest weakness - goal shyness. Throughout the game they kept the Isthmian League defence on their toes.
