No less than seven penalties were awarded before the interval but neither side could improve its total In the early phases of the second half the Club the forwards were well to the fore but Rainey with some fine kicking spoiled all their attempts.
Cameron showed up well, too, with some fine kicks ahead and passing and for fifteen minutes without a break the soldiers penned their opponents in their own 25. Dropped passes and knock-ons caused one chance after another to be missed but eventual! the pace told and Maclagan and Mc-Lean got away. Confronted by Dickson McLean had no difficulty in rounding the full-back to go over for an_unconverted try.
This was the last effort of the eventual winners, for the remainder of the game saw the Club doing far better and actually outplaying their adversaries In the 24th minute Aucott, placed in possession, made a brilliant run of sixty yards to go over near the flag after eluding our tacklers while four minutes later the same player scored again in the corner after an excellent run following some clever work by Martin. Neither try was improved upon but the fact remained that as the game came to a close the Seaforths were being outplayed. They clung tenaciously to their lead, however, and ended worthy victors.
Hard running and vicious tackling was a feature of this rugby match at the Race Course yesterday between the Seaforths and the S.R.U.F.C. Hammond-Chambers is kicking to touch.
