Balance Of Power In South China Eleven: Eastern's Big Problem
(By "Rex")
What should prove to be the finest soccor match of the present season will be the final of the Senior Shield competition, when South China
A” meet Eastern at Caroline Hill at 4 p.m.
Having been twice victorious in their previous League encounters, the odds are on South China for bringing off their third win. In view of the importance of the game, Lee Wai-tong is once more turning out for South China, But the possibilities of the Eastern team are not to be over-looked. The added incentive of Shield soccer, may be all that is required for Eastern to turn tables on their keenest rivals.
South China's lineup is very similar to that which accounted
for Eastern on both previous NEXT WEEK'S
occasions. The latter are unde
cided about their inside-left position. Cheng Ying-kuen, who played such a fine game against South China in the second league match, has strong claims for the position, but Woo Gay- tsang, who has appeared in better combination with Hau

"In brief, I'would say that whereas South China are possessed of the better attack, there is an element of doubt as to which team have the better defence. The goal-keepers are of equal standing. Tam Kwan-kon has a very safe pair of hands, and like ls opposite, Lâu Hin-hon, is never rnitled under pressure and maintains # cool head.
