RIGHT INTO THE GOAL
UPSETS THE ORDER OF THE DAY IN WEEK-END LEAGUE SOCCER MATCHES
By "TOUCHWOOD”
Spectacular upsets seemed to be the order of the day in week-end Senior Soccer League matches. On Saturday the redoubtable defending Champions, South China, suffered a humiliating defeat after taking a commanding 4-1 lead, only for Sing Tao to tie the score, and then go on to nip in the winning goal to the deafening cheers of the crowd.
Yesterday's Eastern versus Kwong Wah encounter at the Police ground at Boundary Street Ilkewise produced a shock result. Prior to the match even the fondest supporters of the Kwong Wah camp could only hope for a close match, hut the manner in which Eastern piled up a conviucing 3-0 lead gave an early Indica- tion that the Kwong Wah hoys were in for a trouncing.
