FINE WIN FOR CLUB 'A': DAY'S SPEED

(By "SCRUM-HALF")

Club "A" beat a Royal Scots side assisted by Paul and Carter of Navy,

by a goal and three tries (14 points) to a try (3 points) in yesterday's Paul and Carter had just taken part in a Navy sevens practice, but both did well despite keen tackling by Club. Pinkerton played threequarter in the second and it was difficult to recognise

Millar was again very prominent in the lineouts and it was good to see he and Macrae of Club in opposition. Fairley also did well in the loose and Pursey gave a promising display.

It was a game above the usual standard. seen on Wednesday's and Royals, who looked the better side on paper, were well beaten, mainly due to the opportunism of Day. There were two casualties, Coombe of Royals and Wilson of Club being off the field, but neither injury was serious.

THE SCORING

Club opened the scoring late in the first half when Day beat four oppon- ents in a great corkscrew run which took him 30 yards before he went over wide of the posts. Macrae failed to add the goal points from a difficult angle, and Club crossed over 3-0 in the lead.

Early in the second half Day saved the Club line when he came across to harass first Pinkerton and then Millar when a try seemed certain in the cor- ner. The result was a knock-on, and Club relieved by forward rushes until Walkden secured a favourable bounce to send Thomson over between the posts, only for Macrae to fail with the kick. Soon after a good threequarter movement resulted in Day going over in the corner, and Castleton only just failed with the kick.

A penalty against Carter for offside saw Castleton fail to land a goal from 25 yards out and at an angle, and al- most immediately after Paul broke through and sent Cuthbertson over wide of the posts. Paul had bad luck
