DISAPPOINTING
Game With Kowloon Saved Two Minutes From End
(By "Abe")
The much-touted St. Joseph's team proved a disappointment on Saturday against Kowloon in the first round of the Senior Football Shield and were extremely lucky to live to play another day. Two minutes before the final whistle, Kowloon led by a goal and just when they appeared to be safe, the Saints got away on the left wing, the movement culminating in Gomes scoring from point-blank range to equalise.
Extra time was played, but neither anie sæereeded in scoringg.
