THE CHINA MAIL,

Tamar make grand rugby debut with 8-0 win

over

Whitfield Wanderers

By PAK LO

The Tamar Rugby XV more than lived up to expectations in their first game this season when they comfortably beat the Whitfield Wanderers Plato XV by 8 points (one goal, one try) to nil on Saturday afternoon, and gave promise of be- coming a really good XV after playing a few more games to- gether.

Earlier in the afternoon, on the same ground, Police strolled

Knight had an excellent game at serum-half for Tomar, pro- ducing some very nice breaks and some steady good passing.

The Tamar threes, with Beck standing bead and shoulders above the rest, were faster, and kandteu beller than the Wanderers. Theno backs only need more practice together to become a real force in locul rugby.
