Despite an assurance by a vociferous partisan seated just behind me that "The Club gave South China a good run for their money" I remain convinced that it was through their own fault, and not because of the opposition, that the Chinese did not win by a much bigger margin.. Four-one would have fairly represented the balance of play and the difference in football skill and techique.

However, 2-1 it was, and the Club, can fool perfectly satisfied. It would be unfair to deny that they put up a good performance.

For years now this team has left me puzzled. It is easy to distinguish

The ball was so much in the middle that both Tao Kwai-shing and Tay Qua-liang had comparatively a quiet afternoon. But they always required careful watching and in this respect

POWERFUL POLICE CHALLENGE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP
