BRIGHT BUT SCRAPPY
Marist Loses To Albion
ALBION U: G. T. Barrett, try and ’ dropped goal; D. C. Leary, conversion and penalty goal. MARIST 6.
In a bright, but often scrappy game> Albion had too much allround speed for a lethargic Marist team.
Both sides tried to run the ball at every opportunity, but it was late into the second half before a try was scored. Handling errors, rather, than exceptional defence, were the main reasons for this. Albion had the more penetrative back-line, and the centre. Barrett, and the wing. B. Perkins, played impressive games. The Marist forwards, especially the lock. P Parish, were dominant in the tight driving play, and obtained the most possession. However, with the exception of the second fiveeights. P. McGrath, the Marist backs lacked penetration and se'dom looked likely to score
