SAINTS MAY TROUBLE RECREIO

(Rover's Football Review)

FIRST-CLASS SOCCER GAME IS PROMISED FOOTBALL SUPPORTERS ON SATURDAY WHEN SOUTH CHINA “A” POTENTIAL LEAGUE CHAMPIONS, MEET SOUTH CHINA "B" IN THEIR FIRST CLASH IN THE FIRST DIVISION. THIS GAME, WHICH IS BEING PLAYED ON THE SOOKUNPOO GROUND, WILL BE THE OUTSTANDING FEATURE OF SATURDAY'S PROGRAMME, THE CLUB, AND THE POLICE SUPPLYING THE OTHER TIT- BIT IN THE SENIOR LEAGUE AT KOWLOON. YEUNG SUI YICK, WHO WAS MARRIED YESTERDAY, HAS DELAYED HIS HONEYMOON IN ORDER TO PLAY AGAINST THE SOUTH CHINA “A” SIDE.

Incidentally, this is the first occasion for many months on which there are seven First Divi- sion games scheduled to take place over the same week-end, Surday's programme also having its

quota of promising encounters. The Athletic and the Lincolns clash at Sookunpoo in what should be an excellent encounter, while St. Joseph's are at home to the powerful Recreio combination at Caroline Hill.

THE SAINTS ARE MAKING NO CHANGES IN THE TEAM WHICH WAS DEFEATED BY THE ARTILLERY

LAST WEEK, BUT NOW THAT THE NEWCOMERS, BEATTY AND HERRIDGE, HAVE BEEN GIVEN A SAM- PLE OF THEIR TEAM'S PLAY, THEY ARE LIKELY TO COMBINE BETTER AND FIT IN MORE SATISFAC TORILY, IN ANY CASE, THEY WILL BE FULLY TESTED ON SUNDAY AND MUST PRODUCE BETTER FORM THAN LAST WEEK'S TO STAVE OFF DEFEAT FROM THE RECREIO,
