The hast ■vnngiers were- MoLaughlin (Upper JStrtt), Parsloe (Johnson ville-) and" Ward (Selwyn). Chancy was in good form at centre, but Collinge, the Town centre, also played well. Feeney >vas the best of the five-eighths. There was little between" the halves, Money if anything, being the best of the two. Cathcart and Dowsett each had a 3pell at wing forward, both shining out in this position. Bill Peck was voted the best forward on the ground and thoroughly earned -his selection in . the Senior B"~ Reps for. this Saturday.
