THE CHINA MAIL, OCTOBER 22, 1988.. ́

FOUR GOOD SENIOR GAMES TO-DAY

2ND DIV. SOCCER

SAINTS' BIG TASK TO-DAY

Promotions Weaken XI To Meet Kowloon

Weakened by the promotion of several players to the senior team, owing to injuries, St. Joseph's is the only leading team in the Second Division which will probably be fully extended when they meet Kowloon, at Caroline Hill, this af-

ternoon.

Kowloon Weakened For

Kowloon Match

(By "REFEREE").

LTHOUGH there are only four First Division League football matches down for decision to-day, all of them promise to provide interesting results. The best game of the four, however, will probably be between St. Joseph's and Kowloon, at Caroline Hill, where the latter need only another two points to be up with the leaders, Royal Navy.

why course, no reason Rugby should not be played on the Boundary Street soccer pitch, the only reason against it being the fact that the surface may be marred on a wet day.

At the moment the Police have G. C. Wilson, a clever centre-threequar- ter, H. W. E. Heath, D. H. Taylor and R. J. Cullinan, all good forwards who would form the nucleus, while JS. Riddell, a former forward, could no doubt offer advice to the pack.

It does seem an excellent opportun- ity to lengthen the scope of the game in the Colony and I. for one, would give it every encouragement.
