Game Of Line-outs And Penalties

SUBURBS IS: W. Mason a try. K. Nichols* four penalty goals. LINCOLN COLLEGE 4: J. Keoghan two penalty gowte. W. Tapsell dropped goal. Suburb* fully deserved Hu 11-6 victory against Lincoln College as particularly in th* second half. W* forwards were swifter to capKatise on mlstak** while the ju«dou« kicking of L. J Davis and W. D Cottrell kept Lincoln penned In It* own hav for long periods. This, and the inor<Hn*t* num ber of penalttea Lincoln gave away in kickabte positions, gave Suburbs supremacy. Llnco.r gave awav 17 penalties during the match—to Suburb*’ eight and from 16 of these Nicholas attempted goals—kicking four. As Rugby, it wa« not an Interesting game, but Lincoln won ahnest twice a* many of

th* 87 Mn«-outs as did Suburbs The Lincoln backs were swifter than their opposite* but the continual refusal of W. Tapsei: and W. J. Thompson to part with the bail denied their three-quarters many oppor tunikles Keoghan had a fin* day at fuR-back for Lincoln, sending longer and more accurate kicks then Nicholas. However. Nicholas’s defence was faultless D. Reeve was the best Suburbs back outside Davis and Cottrell who both played wel' under sustained pressure from the Lincoln loose forwards. Lincoln’s forwards dominated the Hne-outs and shared the scrum* but lacked Suburbs’ fire. A J. Banks was well looker after by E. MuJlany but H Meech and D. Watts did well In set play. Mason played a fine game on the flank for Suburbs. Referee: Mr T. WorraM.
