SENIOR SHIELD: KITCHEE 3, EASTERN O
THE CHINA MAIL
MONDAY, JANUARY 14, 1957.
THIS WAS A NEAR ONE
EASTERN LOSE A PLAYER AND ALL DESIRE TO STOP KITCHEE'S FORWARD LINE
By "TOUCHWOOD”
Eastern were put out of the Senior Shield competition by Kitchee at the Hongkong Stadium yesterday. The winning margin was 3-0, but Enstern put up only a token resistance in the second half.
The losers thus failed to keep the Senior Shield for another year and at the rate they're going the chances of their holding on to the League title are not very bright.
The main reason why Eastern was beaten was because they were one short for most of the second half. Lau Yee got marching orders from the referee immediately after the interval for fouling Kitcheo's right-winger, Szeto Man.

After all our worries about falling attendances in the League did you notice how the crowd figures zoomed to the near million mark for the FA Cup-ties?
Every year the Cup acts like a shot in the arm to the game. And this makes me wonder whether we wouldn't be better off by:
(1) Curtailing the number of League games.
(2) Introducing a shorter floodlit European League,
(3) A League Cup competition in addition to the FA Cup.

LEAGUE CRICKET
Pettit Saved Army South, But There Was Also Good Work In The Field
By "RECORDER”
Army South beat Army North by 22 runs at Sookunpoo on Saturday as the Optimists crashed, if only to the tune of three points, at Chater Road. The match between the two Army teams was one of ups and downs. Medium to fast bowler David Pettit was the man of this match, taking eight wickets (including a hat trick) for 43 runs in 12 overs. He was helped by some very smart fielding, else the decision could have well been reversed.
The joint League leaders, who batted first, were in a very sad position at one stage as the Army North attack of Vickers and Dear had two of them back in the pavilion with nothing on the board and six of their best batsmen, Henry Bedson being the solitary exception, back awaiting tea with only 30 runs on the board.
