SOUTH CHINA

INTERESTING BUT NOT OUTSTANDING SOCCER

(By "Abo")

Even the Islington Corinthians themselves must have been satisfied with their reception at Caroline Hill yesterday afternoon in their return football match with the South China AA, a bago crowd, including a big contingent of schoolboys, turned up to see them play a draw with the home side in a game which, if not really outstanding, was always interesting because the issue was 'open up to the final whistle.
