EASTERN FEATURED IN THE TWO BEST MATCHES OF THE COMING WEEK
By "SPIV"
Fifteen teams still remain unbeaten at the end of the second week of the local Soccer League, during which a total of 54 matches have already been played.
Kitchee, South China and Eastern in that order take the lead in the First Division, with Eastern enjoying a slightly advantageous position. Klichce and South China each had a drawn game, whereas Eastern, with three wins out of three games played, have one match in hand although they are one point behind the other two teams.
