COMMENTARY

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 Loo 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 only for their spirited display, and when South China were nt 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 Yeung Tse-cheung and the ex-

of cellent goal-keeping

Lec Kwok-kee frustrated all South China's efforts.

South China were the mure polished team on view, but tactics such as adopted by several of their. players were somewhat detrimental to their game. On the whoic, South

The more creditable victory of the two was undoubtedly that of K. M. Omar and Solina, for their opponents, Walker and Duncan, were anticipated finalists. The winners came strongly from be- hind, being down 21-15 on the |14th and won over the last two

heads only.

In the early stages of the game, w.before elther Omar or Solina had I settled down, the Bowling Green pair chalked up two 3's--one on the 3rd end and the other on the 7th,

Walker was showing great superiority over Sollns, and Omar was more than matched by Duncan,

From there Walker and Duncan went to 10-10, 20-12 and eventually

then 21-14, but
