SAYLE, RICHMOND SCORE FOR S.R.U.F.C

FINE rally in the second half enabled the 2nd XV of the Fourth U.S. Marines to defeat the 2nd XV of the Rugger Club by a goal, a penalty goal, and three tries (17 points) to two tries (6 points), the losers falling away badly after holding the public eye for the earlier half of the game.

The winners played their usual hard game and were very quick in following up, making the most of opportunities afforded thereby. They did not make many three-quarter movements, but their individuals in the threes line were able to bring off some fine runs, and the Club defence, towards the end of the second half, seemingly could be cut through with ease.
