LAST NIGHT'S RUGGER
CIVILIANS
THE", CHINA MAIL, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1956.
CIVILIANS VERSUS ARMY WAS THE BEST MATCH
SO FAR THIS SEASON
Says "PAK
LO"
Last night's Civilians versus Army match will go down in the annals of local rugby history and will form a talking point among fans for a long time to come. It started raggedly and slowly but gradually became more and more tense and exciting as time progressed, until in the closing minutes there was hardly a throat in the crowd which was not strained.
The final score of a draw was the perfect answer to this thrilling match, and since each fifteen scored a penalty goal, they can each therefore boast that their line
