14 Men No Handicap To Army North Bend Replies

FORGE AHEAD IN COLONY HEXANGULAR RUGBY WITH

9-3 WIN OVER NAVY

By PAK LO

Playing throughout with only 14 men Army North still managed to add another two points to their total in their Hexangular match with the Navy on Saturday when after a hard fought battle they emerged the victors by nine points (one try, two penalty goals) to three (one penalty goal).

In the opening match of the afternoon at Causeway Bay the Club stood up well to the Police forward attack and getting their threes going, won by nine points (two tries, one penalty goal) to nil.
