Kensington especially were throwing the ball about 'all day, but Portland rearguard, with the support of their forwards had the combination and polish to r finish off their movements.
One try each was scored by Beesley, Conlan, Bristow and McLean, who also converted one. with a field goal by Babe.
For Portland, McLean, McCarroll and Bristow in the backs, and Pink and Conlan in the forwards, made
most of the going, while of the Ken-f sington team, Cassidy and Taylor in; the backs, and Ballantyne and Hay-, ward in the forwards, were the most outstanding. Mr J. Hill was referee.
