SENIOR SOCCER SHIELD
SHIELD WON
WON BY SOUTH CHINA "A" Lawn Bowls Season Opens With Surprises
POOREST FINAL WITNESSED FOR A LONG PERIOD
LEAGUE CHAMPIONS PUT UP POOR RESISTANCE
(By "Abo")
Because the teams in opposition in the Senior Shield final, played on the Hongkong F.C. ground yesterday, were both from the South China A.A., much of the interest was taken away from the game. But the "B" team, which won the First Division League Championship only on Saturday, was expected to put up greater opposition than they actually did against the “A” players, who have won the Shield during the last two years. The "A" won com- fortably by 3-0, thus registering their third win in three years.

PLAYED TO STANDSTILL The others did not come up to acratch, either in defence or attack. Lim Tak-po, the centre-half, played himself almost to a standstill trying to stem the almost continual attacks of the "A", and his job was made all the more dimcult by the weakness of his dants, who were unable to stop Tang Kwung-sum and Cheung Moon- wing.
Lal Shiu-wing scored two Koala for the winners in the first half, both splendid shots. He added a third in the second period to complete his "hat trick."

On the whole, the game was fast and interesting, and the result was one which enlis for no criticism.

CLUB DE RECREIO GO DOWN BADLY IN ALL SECTIONS OF LEAGUE Craigengower C.C. Win By Eight At King's Park
(By "Abo").
The Lawn Bowls League season of 1938 opened on Saturday with several surprising results, which indicate that some teams, expected to do well, are probably not as good as they are thought to be, while others, not so favourably regarded, may surpass, OR- pectations.
The victory of the Craigengower C.C. over the Club de Recreio can hardly be called a surprise, although the margin of eight shots wna, more convincing than one would have thought. The meeting of these two clubs at King's Park have always produced tight Anishes during the past few years, and Saturday's en- counter would have followed pre- cedent had it not been for the over- whelming win by U. M. Omar's rink over R. F. da Luz's
