Lazing along in the second half of their rugby game against the Lancs at Stanley on Saturday, the Police suddenly found themselves facing a six point deficit, and though they rallied back, they still went down to the Lanes by eight points (one goal, one try) to nine points (two tries, one penalty goal).

In the other matches the results were expected. Club were never in any danger against 1st Tanks and won easily by 29 points (four goals, two tries, one penalty goal) to three points (one penalty goal). "Club "B" just managed to get the better of 49 Field Regiment in રી scrappy match by nine points (three penalty goals) to nil.
