BRILLIANT GOAL-KEEPING IN CHARITY SOCCER

CHINA BEATS

F.A.

WONG & ROWLANDS STOP

MANY STINGING SHOTS ·

(By "Abe")

By the odd goal in three, South China A.A. defeated the Hongkong Football Association at Caroline Hill yesterday in a charity soccer match in aid of China's devastated war arcas. It was due entirely to the efforts of the two goal- keepers, Wong Wing of South China, and Rowlands of the F.A., that not more than three goals were scored; both were in magnificent form and each in turn was prominent with many fine saves.

A tremendous crowd turned up for the match, which proved to be a fast, clean tussle. Perhaps a draw would have been a fairer result as the teams lund their fair share of the exchanges, but it has to be acknow- ledged that the Chinese showed a definitely superior combination and a better understanding between the halves and the forwards.

The Association team which took the field was mot is strong as the one originally announced. Neither Wela- ter nor Splers was able to play, and the substitutes, Bowen and Leonard,

did not play up to the standard of a match of this description.

Following the klek-off by the Hon. Mr. M. K. Lo, play for n perlod took an even course; the ball swung from end to end with neither aide able to ahow my advantage.

AROUND THE GROUNDS

Odd-Goal Victories In All

Senior

Soccer Matches

(By “Abo")

Though I predicted that all the senior football matches over the week-end would be close affairs, I little thought that all five games, four in the First Division League and the charity ficturo between South China and the Hongkong PA, woutel end in odd- noal victories. Yet this was what happezial.

for hia

Sammy Trang, lie Eastern custo- dian, is fast becoming one of the best goal-keepers in the Colony. Against the Middlesex on Saturday, it was he who stond between the soldiers and more goals, and but ningnificent goal-keeping, his team would have been beaten by a wider margin than it actually was. With the score at 3-3, Middlesex over-ran Eastern in the closing stages of their encounter at Sookunpoo, but they could not obtain the winning goal until a few minutes from the float whistle.

THRILLS APLENTY

There were thrills aplenty in the mate between the Club and Sea- forths on the former's ground. On a much paper, Seaforths looked sounder side, but they had a shock when the civilians went ahead and led by two goals shortly after the Interval. The Seaforths there and then set out to explode the myth that their forwards cannot shoot by registering three goals in quick succession to win out by the odd goal in nine.

It was a close shave fur them, though on the run of play they were worthy winners.
