WHITFIELD WANDERERS

GIVE RECREIO

A RUGGER LESSON

By "PROP"

At Sookunpoo on Saturday afternoon Whitfield Wanderers boat a plucky Club de Recreio side by 29 points (four goals, three tries) to eight lå goal and a try).

This was a heavy defeat for the Portuguese boys, who should not be discouraged, for they held the Wanderers to a five- all draw at half-time.

A fine display by goalkeeper Cheung Kwok-kin: a safe-as-sensational hat-trick by Lance Gibbs featured this morning's

Brilliant catch

Gibbs achieved his feat in his third over of the moralog and had

then given away only four runs.

This was short-lived, however, as Whitfield came right back in- to the attack.

The morning's play opened with a sensation as Bobby Simpson was dismissed by Wesley Hall with his second delivery before he could add to his Saturday's closing score of 85. It was a real morter to which the batsmen got an outside edge and Alexander mado a brilliant catch.

Nearly six thousand fans were present at Boundary-street yesterday afternoon. They saw Police collect two points on the strength of the only goal of the afternoon against an unhappy aimless Army side Mackay and Benaud were well settled when Mackay was out. that failed miserably to live up to its recently acquired reputation... the whole six thousand spectators should be called as witnesses for the prosecution of both sides.
