cup
Three of the four teams who will be engaged in next Saturday's FA semi-finals have home games today. The most interesting is Arsenal's match with Middlesbrough at Highbury.
The Gunners, who are making a great bid for the 'double', have been unfor- tunate to suffer a spate of injuries to their key players at this vital stage of the season. Despite this they should add two more points to their total, as the north- easterner's away record is one of the worst in the League,

Best Soccer Match
By "SPIV"
This year's Senior Division Soccer League came to an abrupt anti-climactic conclusion last weekend with the defeats of Army and Sing Tao, which practically left South China with the title for another year.
With only four more matches to go, South China have only to take another five points to retain the Cham- pionship and even miraculous feats by their remaining opponents will not be sufficient to stop them.
