ST. CLAIR FORD SHINES

(By Referee")

THE Royal Navy opened their rugger season yesterday on their new ground at Causeway Bay with a thrilling win over the Army by a goal and two tries (11 points) to a try (3 points) after being led at the interval.

Considering the excellent state of the ground and the weather, the handling by both sides was very poor in the opening half, countless openings going abegging as a result of wild pass- ing and bad rumming, s

Miers made a re-appearance for the Navy at stand-off half after a year's absence, but did not shine until the second half He was much too-selfish-in the first stage, but this seemed to be a common fault among the Navy backs at this stage of the game.

St. Clair Ford, in his new me role of captain, played a very hard game and did his best to infuse some spirit into the team when the Army were dominat- ing play for a while prior to the interval 4

Benson Still Good

Benson was as tricky as ever, but found the opposing threequàr~ tere quite his equal. He hung on to the ball-much too long in the opening stages but was seen to ad- vantage in the later stagesse
