The second half opened sensa- tionally, a combined effort by the Troop forwards carrying the ball down field to the Kowloon twenty- five where Robertson picked up and forced his way over near the posts. MeLellan, after much de- lay, converted this effort to place the Troop in the lead. Though it was a well-deserved try the score of 6 points to 3 was against the run of the play.

His tackling was delightful to watch and his thrust in the loose opened up many promising movements. Though op posed to a better combination he huld his forwards in a most praise- worthy manner. I do not know where they would have been had he not been playing, for there was not one who caught the eye."
