ROBERTSON KICKS FINELY

(By "Line-Out”).

The Club "A" broke a long spell of defeat yesterday, even- ing when they beat the Linclon- shiro Regimental Rugger fifteen by five goals a dropped and a try (32 points) to nil,"

It was only the third match that the mapority of the Lincoins had played in, and their keeness and determination were a great credit to themselves, and to those who are coaching them. Most of the club tries wore scored in the second half, as fine tackling on the part of the soldiers kept the Club out until

It will be interesting to seo A. V. Gasano back again at centre-forward. I do not think the inclusion of Silva- Netto will greatly affect the relf- ability of the Portugal defence.

YESTERDAY

The Navy garnered valuable points in a first division match against East Lancs at Kowloon yesterday and as a result move up to third position in the table, with only goal average dividing them and St. Joseph's.

The Navy pierced the East Lancs' defence three times with- out reply, and were far and away. the better team.

They attacked continually in the first half, and only the timely intervention of Harmsworth In goal stopped them from crossing over with more than a single goal lead,

Nevertheless. Harmsworth was at fault with the first goal, when he misjudged a dropping shot from Fairless and allowed the ball to pass over the line.

The speed of the Navy forivards took full toll of the soldiers' rear- guard in the second half,
