Senior Shield Quarter-Finals THRILLS IN
Penalty Kick Decides Match In
Eastern's Favour: Sing Tao
Surprised By St
(By "SCRAMBLER")
Joseph's
SHOWING A VASTLY improved form from their last league en- counter, Kwong Wah very nearly surprised Eastern when they met yostor- day in the quarter finals of the Senior Shield, succumbing only to a better organised attack by the odd goal in three. The losers were somewhat do- moralised by the award of a "spot-kick" against them for accidental hands during the latter part of the first half from which Eastern obtained the lead. If a similar decision had been awarded them on two later occasions against the winners, the result might have been different.
Kwong Wah had only themselves to blame for the result, for their forwards were at no time dangerous, and
never in the course of the whole game took an effective
shot at goal. The insidemen were unable to co-operate with the wingers, and their passes and understanding often went astray. If they had been a little more con. crete in their work, Eastern would have been sorely put to ward off the attacks.
loose play, and although Eastern won, their victory was not very conclusive.

Tricky Trio
Largely due to lack of practice with aperture sights brought about by local military restrictions, Hongkong lost the 1940 Interport rifle shooting contest with Singa- pore, and thus the Far East Trophy, which it won in 1939.
