By "Sportshawk''

After leading by the odd goal in three, until the last 20 minutes, Police had bad luck to lose Chan Kwong-yu through an injured ankle and during his temperory absence Eastern equalised This so inspired them that they n tted two further goals in the last 10 minutes to win by 4 goals to 2 in the Senior Division Soccer game at Caroline Hill yester- day afternoon.

It will be recalled that in their first meeting at Boundary Street, Police also led until the last 20 minutes by 3 goals to 2, but Eastern scored two quick goals in the last five minutes to snatch both points.

several good centres from right- wing.

Police turned out the same team as they ftelded against Sing Tao, while Eastern were without the services of Cheung Kan-hol, who is on the injured list, and whose position at inside-right was filled by Ku Wing-fook.

On the whole, Police had the better of Eastern for the greater part of the game and were defin- itely on top during the last stages of the first period.

I Chan Kwong-yu had not been injured and forced to leave the field for about 10 minutes, during which Eastern equalised. Police might have held on to their lead or at least might have forced a draw, Chan returned but was obviously feeling the effects of his injury and as a result he was not 30 safe.

St. Joseph's gave a much improved display in their First Division Soccer game against Sing Tao on the Club ground yesterday, when they were beat- en by the odd goal în five, after having as much of the play in the second period.

Sing Tao were without Cheung Wing-choy, Leung Wing-chui and Chui Ah-fai, while Saints were without C. Santos.
