THE CHINA MAIL, OCTOBER

MANY CHANGES THIS WEEK-END?

KOWLOON-MIDDLESEX CLASH WILL BE MAIN FEATURE

SOUTH CHINA "B" SHOULD KEEP 100 PER CENT RECORD

(By "OUTSIDE LEFT)

THIS week-end's first Division League Football programme should see several changes in the League table, e especially at the top, where the present leaders, Kowloon Football Club and the Middlesex Regiment, will provide the main feature in their first clash at Chatham Road. Both have played five matches and suffered one defeat, although the Civilians have a better goal-average.

Kowloon have moulded their team on sound lines and for to-day's match, Donald Koox will be seen in the inside-left berth, where, together with Coakley, centre-forward, and P. Jorge, in-

A. S. Bliss, above, the Kowloon Football Club pivot, will be seen against the Middlesex Regiment în the First Division to-day.

side-right, they should make their presence felt. Bliss has taken over the key position, supported LEAGUE

on his right and left flanks by Evans, the Interport left-half, and O'Connor, respectively while Sou za and Ulrich, their two sound backs, and Rowlands, make up the rest of the defence.

South China "B", who are the only team to retain their 100 per cent record to date, should ex- perience no difficulty in advan- cing to second position in the table, as a result of a win over the Saints, who have not been true to form yet.

St. Joseph's have made several positional changes and Costa will be seen at centre-forward, where his sound ball control, splendid shooting and headwork should give the Chin- ese defence many anxious moments. Linesmen:-Dredge and P. K. Jones. David Leonard will be seen at cen- South China "A"

SOON SETTLE DOWN

The Saints are a dangerous team once they have settled down, and they invariably find their form be fore their opponents. South China "B" have a tricky forward line and their delightful short passing and will deadly shooting in the area probably prove too much for their opponents.

The Club have so far played only three League matches, but without registering a win and they should take their chance to-day when they visit Eastern at Causeway Bay.

TEST

Several interesting games

こ

should be witnessed in the Se cond Division of the local soccer to-day as most of the leading teams are clashing with one an- other.

The Middlesex, present leaders of the Division, are meeting the Engineers who have only lost one game to date. Izzard, who formerly played for the Middle- sex seniors, has greatly streng- thened the junior side, while the Sappers, in spite of several changes recently, have now set- tled down to a good side.

•

Kwong Wah receive their big- gest test when they encounter South China and one of the best game in Junior football should be

seen.

THEIR BEST SIDE

South China are fielding the

best side, which will include Leung Shun-sang, who played in the Charity game last Sunday, Wong King-cheong and Yan Wah-hing, all of whom have played in the senior team before...

Bri-

Another good game should that between the greatly imp Clab and the 5th Ack-Ack gade, Royal Artillery. The latter are still unbeaten, but the Club should fully extend them; Owing to Hynes' inability to play for } senior team, M. Purvis has been promoted and his place in the Sec- ond Division will be taken by Hopkins. The rest of the t is Portuguese S.A. unchanged.
