THRILLING GAMES PROMISED

IN TO-DAY'S SHIELD TIES

Police And S. China" A " Should Win

(BY "PIVOT")··

Despite the counter attraction provided by the Annual Race Meeting to-day, interest in the semi-finals of the Hong Kong Football Shield Competitions will from what I can see not suffer as far as attendance is concerned. Two really good games are to be seen in the Senior Ties whi'e the junior games promise to be Just as exciting if not mo e 10.

י,

The S Chinx “A” and "B" teants will again be`opposed to each other. The “A's" defeat 'ast week by the “B” cannot in my opinion be taken as criterion of the respective prowess 'on for fields of soccer. Last week playing without the services of the'r stalwarts. Lee Wai Tong, Fang King Cheung and Ip Pak Wa, no doubt, had something to do with it. Fung' and Ip are definitely turning up agafa to-day, while in the case of Lee. I have been given to understand that te-f: resting for the time being from competitive football.

A DOUBTFUL

STARTER

Wong Mei Shan who last week lel the forward line will fall back on his old position again--the centre half berth, thus allowing Leung Wing Chiu and Les Kwok Wai to remain as they

were.

The "A's" attack will now again be in full swing and it will take a pretty good half back fine to stop them from crushing through. The two wingers of the 'A' will need a lot of care- ful watching and I doubt very much whether even Lam Tak Po will boable

to do so.

The intermediate line-Leung Wing Chui, Wong Mei Shun and Lee Kwok Wat should be able to master the "B" attack and this time Yeung Shai Yick and Cheuk Shek Kam will not be having all the say as they did last week.

Pau Ka Ping is doubtful starter for the B" in which case the chances of the averting defeat is slighter then over. With man of Pau's! ability between the sticks the "B's" chancis of being ousted out of the

Despite the fact that Liga Por- tugusa have improved greatly in their game I doubt whether they will be able to stand up against the Engineurs another military test that is good enough for the Senior League. soldiers are great shield fighters and although they have weight they have speed as well. In all likelihood there will be a military final in the Junior shield.

Only two senior leaguo games are down for decisions. China Athletic should triumph over the Gunners and S. China "Ahould be able to walk away with both points from St. Joseph's College although they may expect a spirited opposition from the College boys in the first half of the game.

THE FIXTURES.

The following are the league competition are somewhat reduced to fixtures for the week end. a minimum, Pau's goalkeeping had very often stool hetween their victory and defeat.

Comparing their respective streng thy I believe that the A's" attack and defence are much more superior than the "B" and unless unforeseen eircumstances do come up 1 believe the "A" team should be one of the two Lenras to compete in the final.

Rodger will be acen between the sticks and Hill and S. Strange will be in front of him. What strikes me being Club's weakness will be their intermediate line. Farrow is not that -type of centre half to stop the hustling methods of the Police. He is light and moreover he lacks the sense of direction. It will take a lot to stop the Police forwards once they get midving

In the forward-line they have a set of quick moving players. One and all can score if called upon, but the same fact must not be overlooked that in their attempts to shoot they may yet overetep the short passing game.

· POLICE FAVOURED TO WIN Followers of the Police team are confident that they will pull off the game. They boast of a well balanced teain in which the attack is as reliable as their defence.

R.E. vs. Eastern, 82. `Referee:

They have a couple of sharp. shooters in Stevens and Johnson R. M. Omar. and if the rest of the forward line should back them up they ought to be able to get the necessary gonis: Another advantage in favour of the Police is their weight. This should stand them in good stend.

THE JUNIORS

The junior gates are both well matched. East Lance, should start favourites against Eastern. I under- stand that the latter have been strong- thened by the inclusion of savarál players from Canton. Eastern should remember that they are playing against a team that have always been ragarded as aredoubtable combination East Lanes, victory over the Navy in the last round still stand fresh in my memory. If they can run the soldiers off their feet then they stand a good chance of entering into the final, other wise it means exit for them."
