Bede-Cox was good again, but Leppard was not extended in defence.
The airmen on the other hand kicked badly, invariably giving the Army plenty of chances. Among them, Martin had some bright spells and the NAF threes overall were quite good but no match for the Army.
Bedo-Cox especially was al- ways a thorn in the RAF rde. He converted one penalty and also Ecored one try, while Phillips scored near the end in the corner. Brackenbury con- veried a dimeult kick for the
