THIS AFTERNOON'S RUGGER

First Round Of The Pentangular Tourney Concludes Today

By "PAK LO"

The last games of the first round of the Pentangular Tournament will be played off this afternoon on the Club ground in Happy Valley. The first of the two games starts at 3.00 p.m. and is between the Police, who are at present occupying the bottom placo in the Tournament Table and the RAF.

This will be followed by a game betwixt the Club and the Tournament leaders, the Army, at 4.15 p.m. These will be the last main games this year, as the next games, which are the first round of the Internationals, will be held on January 8, 1966.

Although the Club and the Army are the two top teorns in the Tournamen: Table, it is more than likely that the De Rume will be the more interest- ing and exeiling.

The Polted once more will have the services of Lloyd, now completely recovered from his concussion, and with Marsh in the centre three posiiton have a strong three line. which is a longer scared to tackle.

The puck is not so strong in the loose as it used to be, but their weight should carry them through the set serums in this game as the RAF are fielding a rather ghter pack than usual, Davidson will once nguln seen in the three line, probably his last appearance Hongkong rugby fleki. leaves early in January for the U.K.

The Army are by now experts at using any weakness to cut through and score. Brentford is, of course, the danger point and Petric and Martin will have to watch him

carefully, and stop him from getting under way. This should be * fairly close game, but the Army definitely start as the fancied side and if they fall to win shall be very surprised.

The Club have at times managed to pull that little extra something out of nowhere, and might manage it today. Unleas they do so there is little 10 stop the Army from annexing the Tournament for this year.
