Second Spell

Second Spell.

We looked to this spell for the excitement required to warm our rapidly freezing bodies but were disappointed. Play began with a good run by the Johnsonville backs. Then McElwain made a run and centre-kicked. Bradshaw and Eade followed up fast and Eade was collared on the line while "walking over" for a try. A good run by Johnsonville nearly resulted in a try but McElwain tackled and Tricklebank sent the ball back with a good kick. Solid forward play followed until a high kick went over the line for a Johnsonville forward to score. Kick unsuccessful 3-8.

Play took place in the Johnsonville twenty-five and a good run by Overtoun was stifled. A forward rush by Johnsonville resulted in Mason, their winger, going over the line. Kicked failed. 3-11.

The last few minutes saw hard play by 'Varsity forwards. A free kick was taken by Tricklebank, who missed. The final score was 3-11.

As we limped half-frozen out of the grandstand we came to the conclusion that the team to improve must definitely look to the following points:—Training, tackling, following up and combination between the backs. If these are taken to heart we think there is still hope.
