Kwong Wah Surprise South China 2-0 Rajputs "A" Second In

Dour Defence Defeats Tricky Forward Tactics

Fast And Exciting Game

(By "SCRAMBLER”)

THANKS TO A stubborn and spirited defence ably led by Lee Kwok-wai, ex-South China star, Kwong Wah were able to cause the first major upset of the season when they beat South China, last season's senior league Champions, by two goals to nil at Caroline Hill yesterday.

But in fairness to the losers, it must be stated that at one period of the game when the winners were lead- ing by only one, Lee Tak-kee and Chau Man-chi had Kwong Wah completely beaten only to see the shots rebounding to play after striking the cross and upright bars.

On the whole, the winners

thoroughly deserved their win if Cricket only for their spirited display, and when South China were at: one time all over them, they re- fused to give in, and heroic efforts of Lee Kwok-wal, ably

assisted by Fok Yiu-wah and Young Tae-cheung and the ex- of Lee cellent goal-keeping Kwok-kee frustrated all South China's efforts.

were the more

South China polished team on view, but tactics such na adopted by several of their players were somewhat detrimental to their game. On the whole. South China's defence played as well as was to be expected, and it was only defeated the atrocious tuck that them.
