Eastern Beat Kwong Convincing Rugger Win By Navy Fifteen
Wah In Close Match
Wong King-chung Plays An Excellent Game
(By "SCRAMBLER'').
THE FORM DISPLAYED by Eastern in their senior football encounter against Kwong Wah yesterday on Caroline Hill did not strike one as that of a league winning team. But for the fact that they were aided by a penalty for a doubtful infringement, they would not have obtained both points by the odd goal in five.
Kwong Wah had as much of the play as their op- ponents, but poor
finishing nullified the good work put in by their left winger, Wong King-chung. Eastern indulged in far too much petty passes and individualistic work, with the result that their finishes in front of goal were woefully weak. Their approach work was good, but up to a cer. tain point, they invariably overdid it.
"Several attempts were made at goal, and Yu Hop-hing had bad luck in seeing his shots striking the up- right on two occasions. Play there after was confined mostly to midfield, and although both sides strove hard to add to their score, they were pre- vented by two stubborn defences.
Kwong Wah delighted specta-appeared to gain a hold on their
opponents. tors with a very quick goal scored, by Wong King-chung, who, recalving a pass from Cheuk Shak kam, cut in to score with a daisy cutter that gave Lau Hin-hon no chance. This lead was short lived, for tho Eastern returned to the attack thereafter, and from a pass by Tso Chow+fu, Hau Ching-lau cut in from what appeared to be an offside position to put his team on level terms.
Play wha very oven at this period, both goals were visited in turn, and had the Kwong-Wah :forwards ac- cepted the passes presented by Wong King-chung, they would at least have been two goals up. Lee Kwok-kee was tested weakly by Hau Ching- tau and he was soon seen fisting out from centrá by Chung Yung-sum. With play transferred to the other half, Wong King chung cut across to pass Lau! Fook-chuen, who evading the pair of backs, drew Lau Hin- than out to put the ball into an empty not.
