COMBINED SERVICES SHOULD HAVE BEATEN CHINESE IN VICTORY SHIELD MATCH
Says "SPIV"
The Combined Services and the Hongkong Chinese Football As- sociation fought to a thrilling 2-2 draw in the first match of the Victory Shield competition at Sookunpoo yesterday and will play the deciding match on May 6.
Stripped of their, stars, who are away in Singapore, both sides yesterday served the huge crowd with a clean, fast and rousing brand of soccer,
Play was fairly even in the first half, but in the second half the Combined Services dominated the exchanges and with a little luck and better shooting power against the firing Chinese XI they might have scored at least the winning goal.
The Services get a tast pace really good constructive moves and maintained it till the end. except on a few rare occasions.

Too Long An Interval Between The Cup Semi-finals And Final?
London, Apr. 27.
It is difficult to realise that since qualifying for the Cup final Newcastle and Arsenal will have played respectively eight and seven League games before their Cup meeting. That includes the final League engagements this week-end.
As a result, Army "A" and KCC 2nd XI are the champions.
The Optimists, turning out One of their sirongest team" this season in the Kal Tak match, including Bob Crole, who took eight RAF wickets for 45 runs, proved too strong

Arthy and G.H.P. Prilchard began by putting on 53 runs for the first wicket and by the time that George Rowe and Rory MacPherson had been disposed of the score was 93. Optimists finally, declared at 178 for nine wickets.
This would not have been an impossible Agure for RAF to reach, but the batting machine of Kingsord, Wilson, Moorhouse and Balf was back in the pavation for 20 runs and Craig continued happily with his wicket-tniging. RAF did achieve a draw bite this, losing only nine wickets for
