ST. JOSEPH'S SURPRISE NAVY IN

WIN BY THE ODDI GOAL AFTER AN EXCITING GAME

SAILORS MORE SPEEDY BUT HAD NO CONTROL

(By "Abo")

That old football axiom that League form is often an unreliable guide to the result of Shield matches was once again borne out yesterday when St. Joseph's defeated the formidable Royal Navy team in the second round of the Hongkong Foot- ball Association Shield at Causeway Bay by 3-2. True, the Saints were strengthened by the inclu- sion of C. F. Remedios, N. Beltrao and A. V. Gosano; but few of those present on the ground, I am sure, oxpected victory to go to them, especial- ly as the Navy took a 2-0 lead after 15 minutes'

play.
