Seniors Win

Seniors Win

The Seniors scored an easy win over Miramar by 28 to 8, but wide margin was due not so much to 'Varsity's brilliance as to the extreme weakness of the opposition. In fact, 'Varsity did not appear to be very interested and played rather lackadaisically. It is to be hoped that the failure to secure promotion to First Division will not cause any lessening of interest as the Club now stand a change of winning both the Senior A Second Division and the Senior B Championships, which would be a line achievement.

The forwards played well in the light but did not display much dash in the loose. McNicol played a good game and Hansen was also prominent. It was unfortunate that injury caused the retirement of Burke and Meads, who were playing right up to their usual form. Burke's dislocated collarbone may keep him out of the game for the rest of the season.

Since the first few games Rissel has played consistently well as fullback and on Saturday he was again quite sound. Wild's penetrtation was again in evidence and led to several openings. Tricklebank was impressive on the wing and one of his tries was scored after a brilliant run in which be bumped off a couple of opponents and swerved past the full-back to the three-quarter line has proved successful.
