An electrifying burst by St. Joseph's late in the second half was the feature of their game against South China "A" in the Hongkong Football League played on the Navy ground at Cause. way Bay yesterday. In the course of this sudden revival, the Saints scored three goals within a period of as many minutes; but though this burst would have proved a match-winner in most cases, it was not so in this instance because the Chinese by that time had already piled up four goals,

This sudden burst apart, however, the Saints were not playing up to

the level of the Chinese. The de- fence tackled resolutely enough, but there was ille co-ordination tween the halves and the forwards,

David Leonard, at centre-froward, chose this match to play his best game of the season to date, but he did not receive sucient support from the other men in the line in the first half. Once he did get through with the ball, when

the Chinese were leading 2-0, but his shot was by Pau Ka-ping, who made ength dive to do 50. Humain played the third-back Eame with a certain success, but the wily Fung King- cheung swung the ball about from wing to wing, and though Pereira and Azim, the wing-halves, did their best, they were not capable of stem- ming the tide.

It was only just, therefore, that the Saints did not score a fourth, because the Chinese should have had five goals to their credit.

After a moment of Chinese pres- sure, the Saints swung the ball down
