NAVY DESERVE SOCCER VICTORY OVER EASTERN F.C.

│BETTER IN ALL

DEPARTMENTS BUT SHOOTING

CHINESE SCORE TWICE IN TWO BREAKAWAYS

(By "Abe")

Leading 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 each time against the run of play. Therefore it was but just that the sallors finished up on the winning end; for they were undoubtedly the better team. Only weak finishing on many occasions by their forwards prevented them from emphasising their ulvantage In midfield play.

The Eastern forwards did not have! the same chances as their counter- parts, but always seemed the more dangerous in front of goul. Talk-kee, the inside right, with his splendid' first-time kleking, was al- ways a menace but Hau Ching-to the outside left, did not have a gol game.

not

task of ferting the vanguard fell to the wing-lalves, but with Dixon playing such a prominent part in the middle of the Beld, they did accomplish this successfully and the inside-forwards had to go back to forage for themselves.

DANGEROUS FORWARDS

In the breakaways, however. East- ern were always dangerous. It was during a breakaway 15 minutes after the commencement of play that Dee Tak-kee broke through to

SCOTY.

The second Eastern goal was due to a bad mistake on the part of Fisher, who missed the ball completely when he had an easy chance to clear, and Lee Tak-kee rushed in to senre with a beautiful sol. These were the only two licceses Earnered by the Eastern forwards.

For the rest, the Navy were attack- ing most of the time, and only too much pattern-weaving by the for- wards stopped them from piling up more than three goals. Instead of shooting when well-placed, they in- sisted on sloe-passing, giving the Eastern defenders their opportunity |

to clear.

Play war always interesting throughout, though it cannot be sald that a high standard was malt- tained. All the goats were scored in the first half. The second period was not as good as the first,

only in the last few minutes when Eastern made desperate attempts to get on level terms did the exchanges reach the same high level.

Eastern should have seared in the last minute. A cross froin the right found Hau Ching-to with the ball and only the goal-keeper to beat, but he shot straight at McAlester, who had no diffleully in clearing at the expense of a corner, which proved abortive.

DIXON PROMINENT

Both defences were quite sound, Dixon' was a dominant ture in the midfield play and was well-support- ed by his wing-halves, Bells, the right back, was steadier than Fisher,

on the left. Of the forwards, Hunt

was the best of the lot.

Over The Week-End

Bowlers generally had the upper hand in the cricket matches played over the week-end. In most cases, scores were on the low ride; the highest of the day was 194 for five wickets declared by the Diocesan School boys against the Kowloon C.C. seconds, and the lowest was 39 by the Indian R.C. juniors against the Police.
