Army Football Notes
THE CHINA MAIL, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27,
ARMY HAS ONLY LOST ONE
POINT IN
IN THE EXCLUSIVE TOP FOUR LEAGUE
By "MAU YAN"
A look at the League fixture list at the beginning of the season showed that Army had three stiff matches in succession during October and November. These games were against Sing Tao, S. China, and KMB.
Army have overcome this hurdle with some considerable success as the results show, with a 2-0 win over Sing Tao, a 3-2 win over S. China, and a 1-1 draw with KMR last Saturday.
Now it also happens that Army and these three teams have all already played each other in the first leg of the League Championship, so it is interesting to see how this quadrangula; armament at the top of the Table turned out.
