“A very physical match this.

Our opponents begun by sneaking offside ahead of the kick which the ref completely ignored ("blitz" they said, whatever that is). This forced Larkham into a kick and chase but their fullback got to the ball way ahead of our manhandled wingers and ran the ball clear to our 22.

But their runner was soon tied up in a maul which the Khemri looked like winning easily until a good hit was made and the ball was collected by Frank Bunce who threw a long cutout pass to a flying Nathan Grey who ran it in.

The Rugby defence held until the half but was later cut open by some strong running and a rolling maul down the right flank.”
