SOUTH CHINA "A" DEFEATED
St. Joseph's College Deserved
Victory.
Although not the first to gain the distinction of having beat- en the almost unbeatable South China "A", Saint Joseph's Co- lege football team are to be congratulated on ther well earned victory yesterday at Cato ne Hl over the League Champions by the only goal scored in the match.
South China have only themselves to blame for this sudden }) setback for they had all the opportunities and above all al- most their best team on the field with the exception of Lee Wal- tong.
For a First Division League game. the match in itself was very dull and uninteresting. The only time that it did bring any excitement, was during the closing stages, when the Chinese find- ing themselves behind on the sleet. tried very hard to force a draw. Al: praise muss undoubtedly be showered on Costa. Elms and Sousa, for it was they who saved the day for the Saints.
