THE magnificent display of Royal Scots against Eastern, South China's second victory over Engineers in the

play-off for Second Division Soccer title, and the holding of Service Corps to a draw by International, were the outstanding performances in the local soccer pro- gramme over the week-end.

Eastern did not have their own way against Royals, who did extremely well. Hau Ching-to scored the win- ning goal in the closing minutes of the game.

South China" won the Second Divi- sion championship when they beat Engineers by three clear goal. Mox- ham was back in goal for Sappers but it was evident that he was not at his best.

Both R.A. and Engineers now meet for the runners-up position and this game. will probably be played this week.

After having the championship well in hand Service Corps are gradually letting it slip out of their hands and at present the most they can expect is a play off with 24th. R.A., even if they win their remaining remaining game against Electric.

South China did well to beat a weak Kowloon team at Caroline Hill by two clear goals. Smith the Kow- loon goal-keeper unfortunately, broke his forearm when stopping a two yard drive from Chan Tak-fai and will be out of soccer for some time.

Though neither were at full strength "Y" Ladies and St. Andrew's, win- ners and runners-up, respectively, in the Caer Clark Cup competition, had an enjoyable friendly game on Satur- day when four goals were shared.

The game was not taken too seri- ously but produced some good hockey.
