VETERAN CHEUNG KOON-HING STEALS THE SHOW WITH A BRILLIANT DISPLAY
KMB Beat Kitchee 2-1 In CAAF Cup Match
By M. MacTAVISH
A wonderful display of goalkeeping by veteran Cheung Koon- hing almost thwarted KMB in their efforts to scrape and scratch their way to a narrow 2-1 victory over Kitches in a CAAF Cup match at Caroline Hill last night. Kitchee fielded a strange looking line-up which included two unknowns in the vital wing half positions, but for all that they came within a fraction of causing a major upset. Nevertheless the Busmen should have won by the proverbial bag o' goals. They were yards faster than the opposition: they were fitter than the Kitchee side . and yet, after recent displays, they were a bitter dis- appointment. It would be easy to succumb to the belief that their earlier performances against South China were mere flashes in the pan... but I do not believe that is so.
