THE SUPREMACY OF OUR BIG CHINESE CLUBS MUST BE CHALLENGED-BUT HOW?

Asks I. M. MacTAVISHTM

Since South China's decisive victory over the Army in the Senior Shield final last Saturday there has been a lot of talk about the deteriora tion of Service football when compared with pre-war and immediate post- war standards.

As a generalisation applied to Service football in Hongkong this is surely well founded, but due to other vital factors it is also very nearly an inevitability. The tenure of service personnel in the Colony is now comparatively short and.con- stant comings and goings make it a most difficult task for the "Royal Navy, the Army and the Royal Air Force to develop the essential understanding that makes men into a team.

"It is not just a esse of finding players from season to season....... it is very often a case of Ending players from week to week.

Such circumstances are bound,

from time torsion, to throw up a Services side that will give teams like South China, Kitchee, KMB and Sing Tao a healthy run for their money.....but it is all very much

a matter of chance.

There can be do such thing as team building on a long term plan....it really boils down to the three Services making the best use they can of what taient happens to be available at any particular time.
