3-1 TRIUMPH FOR SING TAO Volunteers Beat Depleted

South China Attack Broken By Brilliant Half-back Defence

(By "SCRAMBLER'')

ADAPTING THEMSELVES QUICKER to`wot conditions and a slip- pery ball occasioned by the drizzle which fell prior to their match against South China yesterday at the Hongkong Football Club Ground, Sing Tao gave a much improved display to come out on top by three goals toʻone, Their display yesterday had the carmark of a planned campaign, for every movement was executed with fine understanding among the players.

Leung Wing-chiu made a welcome return Middlesex to the team, and played a great game at the centre half 11. Navy berth where his covering of Chan Tak-fai and Chow Man-R. Scots chi was outstanding,

The defeat of South China) could be attributed to an un- settled defence, for it took them quite some time to get on their foet, whereas Sing Tao went right off the mark. On the whole, Sing Tao deserved their victory, for every man pulled his weight and the defence gave nothing away.
