POLICE SURPRISE R.A.F. WITH DESERVING WIN

By PAK LO

After holding the Army South to a scoreless draw at half time on Satur-* day the Army North suddenly went completely to pieces and let 'the Southerners roll over them to the tune, of 14 points (one goal, three tries) to nil, while on the other side of the harbour at Kai Tak the strong RAF XV started well but faded away to a shadow of its former self and, the Policemen won deservedly by six points (one try, one penalty goal) to nil.

The result was a surprising one, and although the airmen played the second half with only fourteen men, they never looked as if they could have scored, even with a full team,

line, and although their threes were passing the ball back and forth beautifully they could not find a crack in the strong Army South defence. 4

Stood Out

For once, too, the Police threes

were used to good effect, especially in, the second half when they were always threatening to score. Of the threes, Scott stood out both in defence and attack and Belling- ham on one wing got in some lovely runs that with a little more support from the Police forwards would have seen the Police end with a bigger score.

In fact it was not until the thirteenth minute of the second half that the Police Rcored again. They had been build- ing up the pressure steadily and had just falled to touch down & rolling ball as it crossed the line. The Polles swept back from who drop-out and there was a lineout fifteen yards from the line. Haigh got the ball and scored in the cor- ner. No conversion, 6-0,
