5th FIELD REGIMENT MOVE INTO FINAL OF ARMY UNIT RUGBY
32nd MEDIUM REGIMENT TO MEET GREEN HOWARDS IN OTHER SEMI-FINAL TODAY
By ̄ PAK

In a fast forward battle on a slippery and soaking pitch the Navy on Saturday made greater use of their pack, and as a result beat Club "B", who repeated their seniors' errors of Wednesday, by 11 points (one goal, two tries) to five (one goal).
On the mainland at Sekong, 5th Fiell, making full use of their forwards overwhelmed the 1st Tanks by 12 points to three, and therefore move into the final of the Army Cup against either Green Howards or 32nd Medium Regiment, who play off their semi-final this afternoon at 3 p.m. on the Army ground in Boundary Street.

The airmen took the held with a very much weaker side than they have been fielding of Inte.
Both sides handled poorly in the loose, but the Wanderers pack kepi together better and were always up on the ball, and their threes gave them plenty of support.
In the neouis and the scrums the Wanderers got the better of the exchange, and this gave them a bigger share of the ball, and this was the mes Important thing under the con- ditions.
The RAF forwards tried but were always eight men against a pack, and their threes did not give them the cover they needed.

Heilings shone at wing-forward but was inclined to be offside more than he should have been, but he led the Wanderers pack in the loose and took every chance offered him..
Sanderson seemed set to open the scoring when le broke through early on, but slipped with no one near him, and the airmen cleared, However, San- derson storted the next move when he broke through from- deep inside his own half, and sent Davies away. The latter's pass was knocked on ve yards from the RAF line. There was @ serum and the ball went to Eliot who scored well way out. Crawford converted. 6-0.
In the second half another five- yard scrum gave the Wanderers their second big chance and the ball went to Davies who scored well out for Tunbridge to con- vert.
