Playing with their weakened. side the Army South came mighty close to disaster on Saturday afternoon when, after combining well to take a five point lead at the interval, they fell away and let the Army North draw level with them at 8 points (1 goal, 1 try) to 8 points (1 goal, 1 try) in the second half.
In the previous match the Club, losing by 5 points to nil, drew level in the final minute with a fine try by Roberts to produce the unusual state of two draws in one afternoon.
