SAIGON TWICE

Brilliant Defensive Tactics: Forwards Fail In Front Of Goal

(By "Rex")

THE VISITING SAIGON FOOTBALL sido wore twice defeated over the week-end. On Saturday, they lost to Hongkong by the odd goal in three, and by many considered unfortunate. Yesterday they wore soundly beaten by South China A.A. 4-1.

On both occasions they exhibited a good knowledge of defensive play, but their forwards were very poor when in front of goal. But for this latter failing, Saigon might have shared honours with the Colony, or might even have won.
