Kenya fights well
NZPA Perth Kenya, the “David” of the world hockey tournament; came out of the clash with “Goliath” yesterday bathed in a glow of comparative glory. Although the result was somewhat different from the biblical clash — in this case “Goliath” (Pakistan) won 5-0 — Kenya could be proud of the display it put up yesterday. To the hockey purists, it was not a match to be remembered fondly but for the
spectator who admires determination and a fightin' spirit, Kenya at least had . moral victory. Anyone who had the audac ity to suggest yesterda morning that Kenya coul hold the omnipotent Pakista team to five goals would have been ridiculed, or at least regarded with sympathy. But hold them it did ar 1 for most of the match it kern Pakistan to a two-goal lead the last three goals comin only after the replacement o key players, David Bajindei and Peter Akatsa.
