BUSTLING FACTICS, There was no doubt that the Club had à superior team their forwards tackled well and display- ed bustling tactics, whilst some very good movements were originated by their wing forwards Lavalle. MacCrae and Thomson were outstanding for the Club team
Outside of Paul (Navy), who gave a grand display, the rest of the team were off form, Snell, at back, was poor-his handling, of the ball was never confident whilst his kicking lacked distance and accuracy. The
forwards wing never got going owing to ill-timed passes and hesitancy when in pos- seaston of the ball. The pack worked hard, but could "make": no headway against the Club de fente.
CLUB TAKE LEAD The Club led by 8 points to nil
at the interval through Thomson. who crossed over for an uncon- verted try and later MacCrae In- creased the lead by kicking a magnificent goal.
Maintaining their supremacy, the Club forged further ahead in the second half when Richardson scored between the posts for Mac- Crae to convert the Club's last points were made through Mac- Crae, who crossed over after some thrilng three-quarter play. Tay- |lor failed with the kick.
