Senior Shield Final
By I. M. MACTAVISH
The semi-final Senior Shield Soccer match between South China and Police at the Government Stadium yesterday was an astonishing game. Not astonishing in its grandeur but rather in the listless approach of the players to the proceedings. Never once was there a suggestion of genuine urgency from
either side and there would have been no surprise if the players had offered an apology to the fans for. keeping them hanging around the Stadium so long for so little
return.
South China now move into the final of the Senior Shield by reason of their casual Sunday afternoon stroll but, if the Police had had the enthusiasm and the bristling, bubbling cup tie spirit that one normally associates with knock-out football, the final score in favour of South China by three goals to two might have been very different indeed.

THRASHED 8-3 BY MACAO XI
By A China Mail Reporter
In an extremely one-alded game, the visiting Macao hockey team thrashed the local first division side, Nav Bharat, by eight goals to three before a large crowd at Soolammpoo yesterday after-
noon.
The game tended to drag, especially during the opening minutes, but the Macao players picked up as they went along and the pacé quickened towards the end.
