BY far the outstanding performance in local soccer over the week-end was that of Club in beating Eastern, potential runners-up of First Division, by the odd goal in three after leading. at one time by two clear goals.

Eastern have little for their defeat. Truc, they were without two players in Kong Sing- keng and Tsang Chung-wan, but Club were in brilliant form and really played well.
