All roads will lead to the South China Athletle Association stadium at Caroline Hill this after- noon where the final of the Senior Shield between the holders, SOUTH CHINA "A" and EASTERN AA, will be played the kick-off being at 4 O'CLOCK. The encounter should prove to be the classic match for many a season for it is several years since two Chinese teams met to contend for the covet- ed trophy.

A forecast of the result would indeed be a difficult task even for the most seasoned football critic but an odd-goal victory for either team is indicated. In a match like this,* naturally the "early bird' goal in this case) gets the worm."

Eastern are known for their all- uut tactics in the opening stages of the game and should they In- troduce this effectively today it should stand them in good stead to receive the trophy at the con- clusion of the match,

The Caroline Hill team, of course, have Lee Wai-tong and in him. they have the potential goal-getter for match of this nature. Though he may be slow now he is, stil! mighty dangerous with his kick and is worth at least two, if not, three goals still. «

South China "A" have won the Senior Shield for the past four years having defeated the Police 5-3 In the final last year on the Club ground. They will. therefore. start favourites this afternoon.
