NAVY AND FUSILIERS IN DRAW

SENIOR SOCCER FIXTURE OFFICERS BEAT

AT CAUSEWAY BAY

Wallace Misses Fine Opening

A fairly large crowd gas present at the Causeway Bay ground yesterday afternoon to witness the First Division League football match between the Royal Navy and the Royal Welch Fusiliers. The latter fielded the same team as that which de- feated the South China "B" in the semi-final of the senior shield on Sunday.

Yesterday's match resulted in a goalless draw and blame for not making the best of opportunities can be equally attached to both sets of forwards through their apparent hesitancy when in front of goal.

Arst time to lands, to beat took a

shot. Rowlands brought of a magnifcent save but the ball roll- ed to the feet of the Navy left winger, Wallace, who, owing to the slippery state of the ground, miss- ed his footing and fell and lost a chance of putting the ball into an empty net.

Play was mostly confined middeld but there were many oc- qasions when dangerous raids were made in turn on the soldiers' Citadel and then on the Navy's goal. Keeble, goalkeeper for the Navy, brought off many fine saves and punched the ball with ac- curacy: Towards the end there Were many exciting moments. Coakley, the Fusiliers' right wing, sent in several fine centres but the bail was to high for Bullivan and Talbot and before they could their heads to it Keeble punched the ball clear.
