SAINTS HOLD SOUTH CHINA DOWN TO TWO GOALS WITH BRILLIANT DEFENCE
By "SPIV"
South China Athletic Association reached the penultimate stage in their bid to retain their First Division Soccer League title for the second year in succession when they defeated St Joseph's by two goals to nil yesterday.
They now lead their nearest rivals, Kitchee, by six points, but have played two matches more and are due to play off their final match on Tuesday against Eastern at the Club ground.
Underdogs St. Joeph's though defeated, put up a gallant show and the match turned out to be much more closely fought than antelpated.
South China flelded their full team, but the majority of their players showed the effects of the hectic week of representative matches which they had just gone through and were inclined to take matters rather easily, playing a safe game rather than going for the goals.
