ARMY'S UNBEATEN RECORD ATHLETES OF THE YEAR
GOES AS RAF XV PUTS UP TERRIFIC DISPLAY
By “PAK LO"
The RAF, with a terrific display by their forwards, smashed the Army's unbeaten record yesterday evening in the final game of the rugger season when they deservedly won by 11 paints (1 goal, 1 try, 1 penalty geal) to 3 points (1 penalty goal) in one of the most thrilling games seen in local rugger for a long time.
The RAF, with a rather weak back line, concentrated on keeping the ball tight and these tactics certainly paid ridends. With McDonald and Lamb playing the games of their lives, and Southwick and Sutcliffe and the rest of the RAF pack back ing them up, the Airmen completely swamped the Army forwards,
