CLUB 'A' v. RAF MAINLAND WAS SATURDAY'S BEST RUGGER GAME

Says “PAK LO”

Far and away the best rugger game on Saturday afternoon was the battle between Club “A” and the RAF Mainland, which the Club fifteen won by the odd point. The result was always in doubt and there was some excellent rugger played by both sides.

Previously, on the same ground, the Club "B" at last broke their duck and overcame HMS Crane by 9 points to 3 in a rather scrappy match. Over at Cause- way Bay the Navy side completley swamped the RAP Island by 24 points to 3.

The Navy won thin game could increase his speed even ; either the t Mrums of the purely and simply because they see if he wished, had the help of four Australians
