This afternoon the Club open the Pentangular Tournament when at 3.00 p.m. they face the Navy on the Army ground at Bookunpoo, Following them at 4.15 p.m. the Army would seem to have an easy task when they play the Police,

With only five XV's entered in the Tournament this year, only two major games will be played off every week-end, with the odd XV playing one of the junior aldes to keep them in training.
