CHARITY GAMES AT KING'S

High Standards In Rugby Football Games To Aid British ROYAL War Organisation Fund

GENIAL WEATHER was associated with the Mainland v. Island women's match at King's Park last Sunday in aid of the British War Ör- ganisation Fund. The result of the game-Main- land 2, Island I was in keeping with my ex- pectation. Morcover, the game was contested at a furious pace, and very even.

There was no score in the first half, but the Island might well have done so had their inside forwards, Mrs. Gardiner and Mrs. Dalziel, not been unlucky or had fol- lowed up witli more speed and dash. The scoring of the first goal by Miss Purves, in the second half,, however, gave them a strong pull, and Mainland supporters have elevated their eyebrows.

Up to this period the Main- land, halves were very unsettled -the usual big game excite- *ment, mis-hitting, half hitting! and plenty of over anxiety. Soon after, the Mainland attack came into their own, and the forwards | showed far more activity in their short passing.
