SENIOR SOCCER SHIELD WON BY SOUTH CHINA "A Lawn Bowls Season Opens With Surprises

POOREST FINAL WITNESSED FOR A LONG PERIOD

LEAGUE CHAMPIONS PUT UP POOR RESISTANCE

(By "Abe")

Because the teams in opposition in the Senior Shield final, played on the Hongkong F.C. ground yesterday, were both from the South China A.A., much of the interest was taken away from the game. But the “B” team, which won the First Division League Championship only on Saturday, was expected to put up greater opposition than they actually did against the “A” players, who have won the Shield during the last two years. The "A" won com. fortably by 3-0, thus registering their third win in three years.

As a Shield final, the match was the pourest seen in many years. The "A" men were far too good to be unduly worried at any time, and for long periods on end the ball was kept near the "B" doni.

Considering that they are the League champions, the "B" players were very disappointing. Only the magnificent display of Tam Kwan- kon, in goat, prevented them from losing by a wider margin. On many occasions, Tam alone slood between the "A" team and goals, stopping rasping drives from Lai Shiu-wing and Fung King-cheung from all angles.

With the "A" intermediates, Leung Wing-chlu, Lau Hing-chal and Lau Tin-sang, playing so well, it perhaps only to be expected that the "B" from forwards were not often able to get the ball near the opposing goal; but even when they succeeded in doing so, they acemed to preter pattern-weaving than scoring goals. There was a complete lack of push about them. Choo made some good saves but he was not kept as busy as he might have been.

Lai Shiu-wing scored two goals for the winners in the first half, both splendid shots. He added a third in the second period to complete his "hat trielt."

CLUB DE RECREIO GO DOWN BADLY IN ALL SECTIONS OF LEAGUE Craigengower C.C. Win By Eight At King's Park

(By "Abo")

The Lawn Bowls League season of 1938 opened on Saturday with several surprising results, which indicate that some teams, expected to do well, are probably not as good as they are thought to be, while others, not so favourably regarded, may surpass ex- pectations.

The victory of the Craigengower C.C. over the Club de Recreio can hardly be called a surprise, although the margin of eight shots was more convincing than one would have thought. The meeting of these two clubs at King's Park have always the produced tight finishes during past few years, and Saturday's.en- counter would have followed pre- cedent had it not been for the over- whelming win by U. M. Omar's rink over R. F. da Luz's.
