A Chance Missed

A series of determined forward rushes by the RN, were the feature of the first few minutes. The Club were away once but Webb, who play ed soundly

to Goldman but Webb gained possession and coolly found touch with a big kick.

Some sturdy pauing was done by the Club in opening out the play From the right the leather travelled to Lammert, who beat two men and essayed a drop goal, but just failed. Griove showed up with confidence (which was maintained throughout) when the Naval three-quarters at- tacked. From the loft, the ball was swung along the line to Hutchison who appeared to held on just a shade too long in attempting to draw the defence. The pass to Koop was. a trifle late and the Navy saved.

They rose to the occasion, led at half-time and, when the Senior Service looked like turn ing the tables, they clinched the Issue by further scoring, finally run. ning out winners by four tries (12 points) to a dropped goal and a try (7 points), after a gruelling game on a rather hard ground.

Another forward rush by the Navy saw Plummer fighting like a tiger to repel them but the saflora were not to be denied and Ruckley reduced the Club's lead to two points again by getting the Navy's only try.

Hammond was entrusted with the kick but it failed to get the two points necessary for a tie.

About a minute afterwards Gold- man had dribbled up, then punted ahead and an opportunity. Ha
