SENIOR SOCCER SHIELD HOLDERS BEAT EASTERN
POOR STANDARD OF PLAY SEEN IN THIS MATCH
WEAKENED ELEVENS ROB TIE OF MUCH- INTEREST
(By "Abe")
'In a game completely lacking in thrills, South China "A", holders, eliminated Eastern from the Senior Football Shield by two goals to nil at Caroline Hill yesterday afternoon. Both goals came in the second half after as listless a display of football as has been seen between senior teams this season.
Neither side was at full strength,| and this was probably responsible for the low standard of play. Ilan Ching-to WAS missing from the Eastern left wing, while the Caroline, Hill players were without Lee Tin- sung, Fung King-cheung and Cheuk Shek-kam.

(By "Abe")
Far from being the even contest which most people had ex- pected, the Senior Shield soccer match between South China "B" and the Seaforths, played at Sookunpoo on Saturday, turned out to be a walk-over for the former team. Except in the first ten minutes of the match, the Chinese always had the upper hand throughout and finally won by seven goals to nil;
