THIS AFTERNOON January Race Meeting to be held
CLUB. NAVY
The deciding match of this year's Triangular „Tournament will be played on the Club · ground at Happy Valley to- day, when the Club will play the Navy for the second time. The match will commence at 4 p.m. and will refereed by Lt. Pirie.
Although there is still an Army Navy fixture to be played off, it is unlikely that it will make any difference to the result of the tournament "as the Army have already been defeated three times.
To-day's match, therefore, will decide whether the Navy retain the trophy, which they won 1st year or merely share. it with the Club.
In the first round the Club were beaten by the narrowest of mar-j gins at 13 points to 14 after a rousing game and to share the trophy they must win to-day. A defeat or even a draw will be of no use to them.
Both Navy and Club have full sides out and a really hard and exciting game with the ultimate: `result ever in doubt until the last whistle should be seen by specta-
tors.
Prior to the Tournament game the Club "A" XV. will,, play the Royal Engineers at 2.45 p.m. This game will be refereed by Dr. J. A. R. Selby
