DRAW AFTER EXTRA TIME

All roads in local "soccer" led to Caroline Hill on Saturday when, after 90 minutes play, the Somersets and the Chinese Athle- tie drew in a thrilling game before an immense gate, the large stands being packed before the kick-off.

A draw about represented the run of play as each side missed good scoring chances and the for- Lunes of the game fluctuated con- siderably.

The match itself was a thriller. Although there were poor patches there was

much rousing and clever football.

The Game Before a packed ground with thousands on the higher slopes the teams turned out as under: The Athletic had the assistance of Lai Wai-koon and Ng Kam-chuen, the latter appearing after several weeks' absence. The Somerset rung two changes, Knapp coming in at right half and Rayson going to outside right.

Somersets: Hall; Hayward, Lawrence: Knapp, West, Chedzer: Rayson, Baker, Guest, Bewleyball, and Butcher.
