(By "Abe")
With the forwards lacking in thrust except for a short period in the second half when they were facing a deficit of three goals, the Army eleven proved no match for the Royal Navy in the first round of the Kotewail Cup Competition at Caroline Hill yesterday afternoon and were defeated by 3-1.
