The game against Scot ,s B team resulted in a good victory for the'home team, and, although the final score was 18-0 Works did not have the game all their own way. In the Scoffs there here some hard working players who made the most of any weaknesses in Works attack and were only prevented from scoring by quick defensive work. First blood was drawn by Dye in the first five minutes of tho game, the try being converted. The second one was scored by Corrie, converted by Peachy, as the result of a brilliant dash -by Dye from behind half way to well into the Scot s quarter* The second half opened with Works playing into the sun which-made taking the ball more difficult* Two tries were obtained in the last half? the first by Jack Richards, who backed up Neal at the end of a good passing rush by the b a cks* The last score was- registered by J ack Mason in the final five minutes play. Mason made the most of a wild rush and whipped in before Scot s were aware of what was happening. Try not converted • s | tS | t> | t *****^.*^**,| ( **** > | £ * l | (^! Among the forwards, Day hooked wall, but the ball did not come clean from' the scrums. Charleton played> his usual hard game. In the backs, both Dye and Fleming displayed good turns of speed. Richards and Mason played good attacking games and were seldom caught out on defence* at full back was very sound and found the line with good kicks on numerous occasions. Spencer, at half, played well, but tended to make too much use of the sun*. Neal moved fast enough to ©over a few mistakes. It was a good game.
