Senior Fifteen.—(Captain, Mr, A. D. McBae.)
V. Selwyn. Lost—8 to 6. Played in pouring rain, which did not suit our style of play. However, 'Varsity were very unlucky to lose on the trend of the play. Riggs scored a good try and Blathwayte kicked a penalty goal for us.
V. Old Boys. Won—15 to 4. Our men, both backs and forwards, played a great game, and the score might easily have been greater. Riggs, Walpole, and Britland scored tries, one being converted by McKay, and Wiren potted a fine goal.
V. Poneke. Lost—18 to 0. Another very bad day, on which Poneke were superior, both back and forward.
V. Berhampore. Lost—5 to 3. This game proved a great fight in the mud, and Berhampore were very lucky to snatch a last-minute victory, scoring as the final whistle was blown. Hart scored for us.
V. Hutt. Won—15 to 6. A fast and exciting game, which was sternly contested. Riggs, Mackay, and Pope scored tries, and O'Regan kicked two fine penalty goals.
