The Easter Holiday week-end soccer programme has been careful- ly planned out by the HKFA and it contains something to suit all tastes. The Challenge Shield Finals, both Senior and Junior, will be played this afternoon at the Club ground, Happy Valley. These should provide a perfect afternoon's treat for the huge crowd expected.

Kitchee, who have already won the First Division League Championship. meet that grand cup-fighting team, St Joseph's, in the Senior Shield. Little need be sald of the prowess:of Kitchee, who start off today's game as the favourites.

The team is strong in every department, especially the defence which has con- ceded the least amount of gouls in the Lengue this season. In the Shield matches they have scored seven goals and have had two scored against them.

WEEK-END SOFTBALL

International Finals Are The Main Attraction Of The Week-end

BY "STARDUST"

The finals of the International Softball series in both the men's and women's divisions will form the main attraction at King's Park during the Easter Holidays. The men's section will see a strong Pakistan squad meeting Portugal, last year's winners, on Easter Monday at 2,30 p.m. while the British belles take the Lusitaniannes, two-time champions of the "Bill Woo International Shield", on the same day. This is the day when Portugal will defend both the men's and women's titles.
