The game was full of excitement throughout, with the Veteran un- lucky losers. Usher, the Navy in- side right who played in that posi- tion for the Veteran, put in some dazzling work only to see the game lost in the last minute.
The teams crossed over after a goalless first half and the Veteran started an attack which lasted fully a quarter of an hour during which their forwards missed two golden opportunities. The Kent then broke away and Green shoot ing from the wing gave them the lead with a shot which the Veteran "keeper failed to hold.

BORDERERS' RUGBY WIN.
THE South Wales Borderers "A" Aften defeated the Club "A" fifteen at the Valley yesterday by a goal and two tries (11 pts.) to
a penalty goal (3 pts). For the first half of the game the Club enjoyed most of the play, but the Borderers made two break. aways and scored on each occasion. The Club's main weakness loy in their forwards, who hardly ever got the ball out of the scrum cleanly continually The Club pack were pushed off the ball by the opposing forwards, mainly because they were using their weight too early.
The Club three-quarters only gel going once in the first half, when L. Goldman took the, ball from Lowson to break through only to slip when in front of the posts and when a try looked certain,
In the second half Lowson play ing at stand off, was inclined to be selfish and tried to break through on his own too often, being caught time and again when in possession.
Torrible played a good game at, the base of the scrum, and succeed- ed in getting the ball away cleanly, In spite of the close attentions of Hewitt.
the Club forwards failed to heel the ball from a scrum almost on their opponents' line, and Gould sent out a long pass to Walters, who cut through and made a run of almost half the length of the field to score near the posts.
