South China "A" won by two goals to one, which was somewhat flattering to the Eastern, considering that for at least twenty-five of the thiry-five minutes of the second half the South China forwards were continuously around the Eastern penalty area, threatening but never succeed. ing. Fullest honours of the game go to the Eastern defenders. They stood up against a most gruelling task. HERE might have been at +++++÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷
