BLACKHEATH LOSE TO RICHMOND

Determined Attack In Second Half

Richmond finished their game with Blackheath with such vigour and determination that they fully earned their win by three goals and a try (18 points) to a try (three points)., Neither club was at full strength, but R. Leyland was in the Richmond centre jo re- place, P. Cranmer, and Blackheath brought J.T. Kemp out of his re- tirement to play scrummage half- Lack once again, while J. A. Tal- lent made a welcome reappea-

rance.

The game, however. was really fought out by the forwards. and on each side they gave a very fine account of themselves Much of the mid-field play was ragged, and there was very little passing at any time that advanced the at- tack, but the forwards were al- “Wrays,tunking a dour fight of it, and until the closing stages, when Richmond were winning, there was little between them.

Honours Even

They had most of the play, and riore particularly in the first half. when it was rush and counter- rish, with the honours even, until shortly before half-time, when in Richmond attack led by E L A Folker, J. McGow, always a great skirmisher, kicked ahead, and N. B. Smiley touched down for a try. which Folker converted.

"Blackheath came away at once.

and form HS Wingfield, J. G. W. Davies got away to clear the course for R. G. A. Brandram, whose strong running bent the de- fence, but M, H. A. Martin was short with his kick at goal.

G. M. Lott, the "Stormy Petrel" of lawn tennis, said. "Perry gave an exhibition of beautiful tennis, but he could not beat vines every day of the week Vines showed a lack of confidence." Reuter.
