of swift forward work in the open, and a general smash-and-grab spirit developed very highly. And all of it most attractive to watch, and doubtless most amusing to play.

Blackheath won because their forwards were quicker on the kill and very satisfactory it was to see the fire and dash of the Blackheath pack. Newport, for all that, showed us a more deliberate application of modern strategy, with the diagonal kick from midfield and the cross-kick from the wing as their main: weapons. Their constant aim was to switch the direction of attack unexpectedly, and in this their principles were sound.
