Down, But Not Out
NEW BRIGHTON U: D. Cutting a try; G. Stanley, two penalty goal* and a conversion. BELFAST 6: G. Don, a try; R. Inwood, penalty goal. Although down 3-6 after one minute and 6-0 nine minutes later. New Brighton looked suffiently in command of both supply of ball and territory, to leave all but the most partisan of spectators without doubt as to the outcome of the match at Sheldon Park. The extra weight and greater cohesion of the Brighton forwards assured its backs of a good supply of ball which was too often wasted by Inaccurate passing. > New Brighton remained on attack for most of the game, apart from two strong thrusts later on in which the Belfast full-back, R. Holt, was prominent, but good covering by Belfast and handling lapses by New Brighton prevented higher scoring. I. H. Penrose and D. Beardsley played well for New Brighton. Referee: Mr L. 8. Kirk.
