HALF TIME POSITIONAL TO FIGHT CHAMPION
CHANGES GAVE RAF 3-1 VICTORY OVER EASTERN
PURGAT.
By
I.M. MaeTAVISH
At the interval in the game between RAF and Eastern yesterday the score sheet showed that neither side had managed to snatch' a goal, and that was a very accurate reflection of some really indifferent and careless forward play by the two teams. The game up to that point had been a tedious series of disjointed incidents that were as uninteresting as they were unexciting,
During the interval the RAF mnde a clever change in their line-up and it changed the whole tempo of the play. They switched Lunder to his normal posi. tion at centre-forward and drew Elston back first to inside-right and then to right- half. The change worked wonders for Elston was much happier away from the leader's berth, while Loader brought the first real spark of life to the game when he started his high-powered dashes down the middle... and for the first time he had the Eastern defenders showing traces of concern,

LEAGUE CRICKET
ARMY WIN SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIP
By "THE
ZOMBIE"
Army annexed the Senior Division Cricket League title and completed the double on Saturday, when they held the Optimists to a draw and the Scorpions and Recreio dropped out of the race by losing to Cralgengower and drawing with Navy respectively.
It was not the finish to a brilliant season that the soldiers would have chosen themselves, but despite the fact that the result of their match with the Optimists was a draw, some very good cricket was produced both by them and their opponents. It was a pity that the light could not have been better on that day.

RAF Massacre The Club In Pentangular Tournament
Match
By PAK LỘ.
On Saturday I ventured to prophesy that in the Pentangular that afternoon the RAF would overcome the Club, but I did not for a second imagine that it would be such a complete massacre, when later on in the afternoon a grand RAF XV slaughtered a demoralised Club side by 18 points (3 goals) to 3 points (1 penalty. goal).
Earlier on in the day the Police had conceded a walkover to the Navy when due to previous injuries they found themselves unable to field a complete team. This was the correct manoeuvre as they would probably have been beaten in any case, and would never have stood up to the Navy if they had played short handed. So the Navy get.
