RUGBY TOURNAMENT
KYRKE AND MARSH ARE DROPPED
CIVILIANS MAKE THREE CHANGES (By "REFEREE")
THE Royal Navy and Club have both announced their Rugby teams for next Saturday's all- important Triangular Tournament encounter, on the Navy ground at Causeway Bay, commencing at 4 p.m. sharp, and with the exception of one or two changes are as before. *
•
THE NAVY HAVE DROPPED SUB. LT. KYRKE AND A. B. MARSH FROM THEIR THREEQUARTER LINE, AND HAVE BROUGHT IN LT. WALTERS AND LT ELLIOT, THE FORMER ENGLAND STAND-OFF-HALE. KYRKE, IT WILL BE RE- CALLED, WAS INJURED LAST MONDAY BY A CRICKET BALL, BUT I AM GIVEN TO UNDERSTAND THAT HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN INVITED TO PLAY ANYWAY.
The dropping of A. B. Marsh is surprising, because he has proved an ideal threequarter, tackling low and soundly, and above all, playing a very unselfish game. Elliot, who is really a stand- off-half, is not as good as Walshami in this position on his present form, and it is fairly obvious that Marsh was dropped to make room for him in the back division.
Then Bidwell broke away for a glorious try, running threequarters of the length of the field to score -BRILLIANT KICKING
