SENIOR SHIELD MATCH.
THE CHINA MAIL, MONDAY, FEBRUARY / 18, - 1957,
CAROLINERS ON DEFENSIVE
SOUTH CHINA'S 3-0 WIN OVER KITCHEE WAS A TREAT TO SUNDAY FANS
By "TOUCHWOOD”
It's South China versus Kowloon Motor Bus for the Hongkong Foolball Association's Senior Shield final. So well and in a most convincing manner did the Caroliners get down to their task in their semi-final round against Kitchee at the Hongkong Stadium yesterday that there was never a moment of doubt as to who would be the finalist in this practically one-sided match before a sell-out crowd.
South Chinn's 3-0 win over Kitchee was as clear as crystal. The shock goal early in the fifth minute by Ho Cheung-yau must have been responsible for taking away the fighting spirit of Kitchee who never seemed to be able to recover from this initial setback.

Although only two games were settled out of the four-game attraction featured, fans who worked their way up to the Association's ground at King's Park had more than their money's worth as the long-awaited return clash between the Saints and Pandas went through nine full innings before the Pandas would bow out to n 2-3 defeat.
