KITCHEE KEPT ON THEIR TOES IN HARD-FOUGHT MATCH WITH KWONG WAH
(By SPIV)
Kitchee enhanced their claim to being "the team" of this season when they handed to Kwong Wah a 3-1 defeat at the new Hong Kong Football Club stadium yesterday.
Despite the fact that there must have been around 2,000 spectators at this match; the huge stadium looked only sparsely filled.
The play was actually closer than the score
Four Entries In Hongkong St. Leger
would indicate. Kwong Wah were not outplayed; In they were not outpaced or outlasted, but the margin of their defeat corresponded, almost exactly to their opponents' advantage in ex- perience and generalship. Kwong Wah were a bundle of enthusiasm but without organisation.
