EASTERN WIN RETURN CHARITY GAME

Brilliant Display By Navy Defenders: Forwards Lack Thrust

(By "Rox")

SOCCER FANS were treated to an entertain- ing and instructive game yesterday at Causeway Bay, when Eastern met the Royal Navy in a return encounter and won by the narrow margin of two goals to one.

Eastern abandoned the frivolous play that marked their previous match, and were delightful to watch, especially their forward line. Royal Navy put up atiff resistance, in which their defence rose to new eminence in coping with the fast and tricky Eastern forwards.
