41. over for the first try (3-0). Good forward play soon carried Wanderers to our line where a fonmrd rush saw the second try scored (6-0). Barratt was again proving a tower of strength to the side but was too closely marked to achieve much. W. Balcomb, making his first appearance in the side, played a plucky gaxae. Hackland was the best forward and played a thoroughly sound game. He appeared to be the only one really in training. Several promising movements broke down through lack of sup port.
