TWO THRILLING MATCHES START OFF THE PENTANGULAR TOURNEY
By "PAK LO"
Not for many years have two such thrill-filled matches started the Pentangular Tournament as those which were seen on Saturday afternoon on the Club ground at Happy Valley.
The Club in a tense and gripping game narrowly defeated the Navy by * points (1 goal, 1 penalty goal) to 6 points (2 penalty goals). Following this the Army received a rude awakening when after they had been leading comfortably in the first half, the RAF put up such a magnificent second half battle that although the Army won by 14 points (1 goal, 2 trien, 1 penalty goat) to 8 points (I goal, 1 penalty goal) it was the RAF who took the honours for this game,
