QUIPS AND COMMENT
Some Rugby players have yet to learn that the game should be played for the game’s sake. It was too evident at Rugby Park on Saturday that at times tempers were becoming frayed, especially In the tight forward play. There is a line where ‘hard’ football ends, and a vastly different * type of play commences. Unfortunately, the main offenders were fcv no means newcomers to the game, and should have known better. The Blaketown inside backs made the most of their opportunitites up to a point on Saturday. Ono player evidently overlooked the fact that a possible five points' is better than a very improbable four. There is little to be gained by having a ‘pot’ at goal when there are three men outside waiting for the ball.
