Pitts in Form.

In the second half, the Police pressed for the first few minutes and a fofward, rush backed by weight nearly say them scoring. but Pascal pick up and booted inlo tonch. A penalty was given to the Police and Poole missed a good chantée. The Navy came baëk strongly and it was only Pitts' good tackling that stopped the visitors from scoring earlier than they did. Eventually Rudd went over in a forward rush to score the second- try and Pascal missed again. Mak- ing amends for his earlier misses, Pascal soon afterwards scored from a penalty kick, to put the Navy into a further lead and then the Police made another effort and Pitts made

a good run, but was brought down.

This marked the last chance the local team had, as the Navy pressed strongly thereafter and were always nene to scoring. Worthington made a good run on his own and succeed- ed in beating several, men, to carry- the ball over the line to score the last try of the match, which was not converted. The visitors were all orer the Polier thereafter and it was a hard struggle for the Insers to keep their opponents from increas ing their score.
