SERVICES TRIAL YESTERDAY
By “Sportshawk"
Following yesterday's trial match against Royal Scots, which they won by five clear goals, a team to represent United Services in the annual Poppy Day Charity football encounter against A Colony XI has been chosen.
Owing to the absence of Wil- 00000 | kinson (Middlesex) at the trial, however, the left-half berth is still undecided. In the event of Wilkinson not being available in the forthcoming game, Barber, of Royal Navy, will turn out.
