WEEK-END FOOTBALL RESULTS
Close Win For South China
Against Athletic
Some excellent football 'was seen over the week-end in both League and Shield games. The biggest drawing card on the pro- gramme was the Chinese “Derby" at Caroline' Hill where-- South China "A" without the services of Leg Wai-tong and Tam Kons Pak very nearly suffered defest at the hands of their fellow countrymen. However, they managed to weather the storm and olinched victory by 2 goals to i

·Of Saturday's games there was but one upset the defeat of the Club de Recreio by Saint Joseph's. It was generally expect- ed that the Recs would manage to hold the Salats, but it was“ their poor finishing in front of goal that cost them the game.
SOUTH CHINA ''A' BEAT

(By "PIVOT") South China “A” went very near to having their unbeaten record | shattered yesterday on the Caro- line El when the China Athletic after leading by one gnol in the Arst half allowed the league lead- ers to acore two goals within the space of ten minutes.
Territorially speaking the losers had as much if not more of the
play, but poor finishings and the lack of cohesion, especially in the second half, made the Athletic's play somewhat stale. South China were without the services of Lee Wal Tong and Tam Kong Pak with the result that positional changes had to be made, South China was at sea in the first half and allowed the Athletic to make several dangerous raids. How- ever, they bad a share of the game

From this point the Lancs seem- ed to drop of and the Fusiliers added pressure, Coakley received the ball and drove in a hard shot which struck the post but on the rebound Evans tevelled the score with a hard drive.
