SAINTS RECOVER SPLENDIDLY AGAINST EASTERN

SOCCER MATCH

CONCLUDES IN 2-2 DRAW

CHINESE SCORE TWICE IN FIRST 10 MINUTES

(By "Abe")

Two goals scored in the first ten minutes of their First Division League football match against St. Joseph's enabled Eastern to win a point when the teams met on the Navy ground at Causeway Bay yesterday. The Eastern players were fortunate to be two goals up so early in the game because when the first was scored the Saints were one man short, and when the second was put in, Hau The lines- Ching-to, who scored both goals, was palpably off-side. man waved his flag, but the referee did not see the signal and allowed the point.

AROUND THE GROUNDS

Leading Teams Succeed In Week-End Football

(By "Abo")

WITH South China "D", Middlesex and Seaforths winning

their matches, no appreciable change was scen in the three leading positions in the First Division of the Hongkong Football League over the week-end. The prospects of South China "A" of catching up with the leaders, however, are now vory poor; their defeat by the Middlesez on Saturday has almost mit them out of the running.

Soldiers' Revenge

THOUGH

win for the Middlesex was not beyond the bounds of possibility, few would have thought not even their most optimistic supporters that they would win in such convincing fashion against South Chinn "A", who had beaten them by 5-0 in their first meeting. But win they did; and furthermore the final tally of 4-1 did not flatter them in the least. They were the better team throughout. The for- wards were ever dangerous in front of goal, and a pair of sound backes and

intermediate hard-working IL line proved themselves more than a match for the swift-moving Chinese attack. Seldom have Fung Kink- cheung and Lai Shiu-wing been "ns important this season us they were: on Saturday. Bright, the Middlesex centre-half, was chiefly responsible for this.
