POLICE BEAT SAINTS SUPERIOR THREE-QUARTER LINE

IN SEMI-FINAL OF THE SHIELD Winning Goal Scored In Closing Minute

(By "Abo")

With the score dead-locked at 3-3 when the final whis- tle blew, extra time had to be played yesterday in the semi- final Shield match between Police and St. Joseph's at Causeway Bay. Then just when it looked as if a replay would be necessary, Moss received the ball inside the penalty area and promptly scored with a low ground shot, thus putting the Police in the final.

than This happened less

one minute from the end; but even then, the Saints had an opportunity of tting on level terms. The ball was swung out to the left, where young Alves made a good run before rend- Dayld ing the ball into the centre. Leonard was on' it, but there were three Polleè defenders on him at the same time and he was ist prevented from scoring.

In a game of this description, it is only to be expected there would be a great deal of hard knocks. There were plenty of them yesterday, but tempers became a little frayed to- end. Little incidents entered into the play which rather marred the game as a whole.

One did not like Howlett's ankle- for which he was pulled up tapping ench time; nor the way he pushed the Saints' goal-keeper before the ball reached him when a corner was being taken at a critical stage of the gaine. He got away with it in the latter case because the refe
