The ball was soon difTncult to handle owing to the wet ground and this prevented the ball going very far in the opposing line. In the lineouts the D.H.S. forwards completely overshadowed the Kearsney mrwards but the latter fought gamely and successfully held the fitter and heavier D.H.S. pack. P'^y during which there was no score the D.H.S.forwards hooked the ball from a loose scrum on our 2S and,following up quickly,the D.H.S. scrum-half scored after a good forward movement. The try was converted and the score stood at 0—S. When the second half had been going 12 minutes,the D.H.S.scrum hooked a ball on our 25 in front of our posts and the D.H.S. fly-half put over a neat drop kick to make the score 0—8. Hulett was playing well in the fly-half position and a few good movements were initiated on the blind sidbeut the defence proved too good. The game now swungfrom one end ofthe field to the other, both sides playing open, spectacular rugby. The end of one of these movements saw the D.H.S. strongly. A fast heel gave their loose forward an opportunity which he grasped eagerly and he scored an unconverted try near thecorner flag. This was followed a few minutes later by Hulett breaking around the blind side. He dummied neatly and found himself running for the D.H.S. line Newlands, the left wing, was well up and after drawing his man, Hulett shot the ball out to him and he dived over for a well-deserved try next tothe corner flae. The conversion fell short. New members to the side showed great promise and Nalson played a sound game at scrum half. Ilth May vs. GLENWOOD HIGH SCHOOL Away Lost 0—17 Glenwood won the toss and under a blazing sunKearsney kicked off with a very slight breeze behind them. The forwards immediately showed zest, holding the Glenwood pack In the first scrum. After a few flurried movements, however, the Glenwood pack got the ball from a line-out and gave it to their backs who, with the help of an overlap, cut through and the wing scored in the corner. This try was not converted. Stung to greater determination, Kearsney swung into the attack and the game looked as if It might prove to be a close one. The forwards then held the Glenwood forwards in the tight scrum but the overlap again defeated the Kearsney line and afte1r6 minutes play Glenwood scored in the right-hand corner. This try was unconverted. The Kearsney line showed some promise but lacked cohesion and a few good movements were stopped just short of the Glenwood try-line. In the second half the standard of tackling in the Kearsney side was poor. Kearsney was shown the importance of catching the ball and then running as hard as possible. Time and again a Glenwood forward forced his way through the Kearsney pack owing to the speed at which he was travelling. Spargo defended well at the full-back position but the inevitable try came after 15 minutes play in the second half. The try was not converted and the score rose to 0 9. A minute later the Glenwood line broke round the blind side and after A thrustful iTiove scored under the posts. Again the kick was unsuccessful owing to a fast rush by the forwards, one of which"killed"the kick by touching the ball in its flight. ® Glenwood were now attacking vigorously and scored their last try under the post after their full-back, joining In the line, had given the wing an overlap. This was the only successful conversion. 245
