Police go down to Brigade's stronger pack after fine defensive display

By PAK LO

The Police XV failed to live up to the challenge offered them on Saturday when after a fine defensive display they went down by 5 points (one goal) to 3 points (one try), to Brigade's stronger and better pack.

At Kai Tak, Carrison, as expected, won easily by 27 points (three goals, four tries) to nil, their threes breaking through as they liked in a series of individual movements in the second half. ·

The Brigede missed fou: penalties in the first Jew minutes when time. and again the Police wing forwards were caught offside round the scrum as the Brigade pack carefully held the ball to the back row in an attemul to upset the Police wing forwards and take the pressure off their own backs.

Brigade had the territorial vantage for most of this half and it was against the run of play that Police first scored.

McNiven, who ployee his usual sterling game throughout intercepted a pass on his own 25, and whipped through to pass on to Newton, Newton passed to Haigh who in tüm sent the ball to Roberts who went

Brigade swung back with a strong attack. Chapman missed a drop a gool, and then Brigade had a chance to lovel the score with a penalty, but again they missed. It was obvious that Brigade sadly lacked a pluco- kicker. Finally, just before half- time Brigade who were still pressing had their efforts re- warded,
