Thirds
With the assistance of some Training College men, the Thirds have battled solidly for their three wins to date. On Saturday last they bustled a much older and heavier Oriental side off its feel for a good win. There were too many heads up in the forwards, but the two smallest men, Igglesden, the Captain, and Milburne, rucked with a will, setting a great example to their heavier packmen. Todd was clever in the loose, and a good break, followed by a well-timed pass, led to the winning try.
Roberts, at half-back, was good, and more will be heard of him. Pakie and Edgar also shaped well, but the narrowness of the ground was against anything like constructive back play Congratulations Thirds!!
