MATTHEWS THE AGELESS
THE WEATHER LIMITED EASTERN'S GOAL TALLY TO FIVE
By "TOUCHWOOD"
Had the weatherman been a bit kinder, Eastern could well have scored more than the five goals they crashed past CAA's Chung Cheuk-biu, for throughout this First Division match at Boundary Street the winner's dominated the run of play and on those occasions when their forward line missed in front of goal it was not lack of accuracy that stopped them from scoring but the biting cold wind that must have numbed their feet to inactivity.

Little Chu Wing-keung, Eastern's inside-left, is the man who gets fullest marks for his side's triumph. His ball play-and remember this was game in which nobody expected any at all, due to the cold spell-was a delight to the eye, and his service to non-stop Ho Ying-fun impeccable. They were the most effective pair in the Tung Fong forward line which went all out for 90 pulsating minutes.

Ground Improvement Is Priority Number One For Leyton Orient

"Leyton Orient are not contemplating buying any players for the next three years." That was the astonishing statement made on the behalf of a newly promoted club by Manager Alec Stock.
Ground improvement is priority No 1, a good young reserve side reason No 2, but overriding them both is lack of finance consequent upon the purchase of a fine new stand when Orient reached Division Two last May,

CLUB'S BACK LINE WITH A NEW LOOK' TAKES IT OUT OF ARMY NORTH
By "PAK LO”
The Club with their New Look back line completely thrashed the Army North side to the tune of 32 points (4 goals, 4 tries) in a wide open game which fave the specintors their full money's worth.
On the other side of the harbour the Police, again with a lot of switches, gave the Navy no end of trouble, and fought until the last whistle. Although they were beaten by 23 points (4 goals, 1 try) to 3 points (1.penalty goal), they made this another interesting game by playing open rugby, while the Navy did the same.
The following zame was on their Hussars and Green boring and disappointing by Howards, this was not such comparison.
