Impressive Serum Half

Waite, who also occupied a centre-three-quarter berth, was fairly reliable in defence and tackled low. Foley, at scrum-half, was very impressive and had the measure of Thomson, while Sutherland, Page, Pinkerton and Berry shone among the forwards.

Club led at the interval as a result of a penalty-goal converted by Henderson, Waite failing to reduce Army's arrears with an attempt at a drop-goal.
