SOUTH CHINA “A” HELD BY EASTERN
SHARE FOUR GOALS IN "DOUBLE TENTH" LEAGUE CLASSIC
DOUBTFUL INCIDENTS FEATURE OF GAME
CHENG SHIU HONG SCORES THE EQUALISER
THE Eastern Athletic Association shared four goals with South China “A” in their postpon- ed First Division League soccer encounter at Caro- line Hill yesterday, and this result must have in- deed been very gratifying to the former's sup- porters, but the manner in which they obtained this result robbed them of much of the glory.
Laeng snm-nong, above, was the outstanding Eastern forward in their game against South China
