At Seokumpoo. the Queen's, who conquered the Athletic in a fine match by three goals to one, now try conclusions with the unbeaten South China team. This should be the best match of the day.

Both tearns are capable of play- ing brilliant football on their day, and both have a partiality for Soo- kumpoo which favours a fast open game.
