KITCHEE NOWHERE NEAR LAST SEASON'S FORM
IN YESTERDAY'S MATCH
By I. M. MacTAVISH
With 18 minutes of the Kitchee-Police game yesterday still to go and the score-sheet blank, left-half Cheng Kwok-kwong of the Police side was injured and received attention behind the goal. He returned to the field of play four minutes later but He was obviously in pain and the ex- perienced Kitchee forwards were quick to exploit the crack in the Police defence.
عل
This was the turning point of the game which was played at Caroline HIN yesterday and in an effort to cover a dangerous move down the Kilchee right-wing, centre-half Leung Wing-faj brought down Kwok Yau in the penalty area. From the spot kick Chu Wing-keung put the Benlor Shield holders in the lead... but il was an advantage that their carlier play hardly warranted.
