Small Ships secured a deserving 2-0 victory over European Y.M.C.A. at water-polo in the dockyard pool yesterday. There was a scoreless first half and poor marking by the visitors and opportunism by the home team provided the outstanding features.
There was no doubt that the Navy were the better team. Y.M.C.A. were without G. T. May and this, to a large extent, ruined any chance they might | have had in attack, as their forwards were very poor and
