Review of Matches

Review of Matches.

'Varsity were lucky to win against Miramar. The forwards played moderately and the backs kicked too much instead of passing. Against Oriental, 'Varsity owe their defeat to the fact that they made little use of their opportunities. Oriental won because they could finish off their movements, and deserve full credit for this 'Varsity were, however, a little unlucky on the day. The same remarks apply to the game against St. Pat's. In the last quarter of an hour, despite strenuous efforts by 'Varsity, the St. Pat's defence proved too stubborn, and again the team had to acknowledge defeat.

Against Melrose-Selwyn the team met weaker opponents and scored a runaway victory. Towards the end of the game backs and forwards combined in good scoring rushes. This definite improvement was short-lived. Playing Berhampore a weak team with no backs, 'Varsity were lucky to win at all, let alone by 21-6, Berhampore played well and with a reliable place-kick should have collected at least another nine points.
