CHINESE SCORE TWICE IN TWO BREAKAWAYS
(By "Abe")
Lending twice in the course of the match, the Eastern F.C. failed to consolidate their advantage and were finally defeated by the Royal Navy by three goals to two in the First Division of the Hongkong Football League on the Club ground yesterday.
Actually, Eastern took their lead ench time against the run of play. Therefore was bul just that the aallors finished up on the winning end; for they were undoubtedly the better team. Only weak inishing on many occasions by their forwards prevented them from emphasising their advantage in midfield play.
