22 THE ASI-IBURIAN SFCDND RUGBY FIELD TEAM N their several games this year the Second Field Team proved un- availing in their efforts to produce a win and ended the season with nothing more gratifying to show than some promising material for next year's rugby. Their first opponents-Lindenlea Rockets, proved more than ade- quate opposition on several occasions, but the experience gained and the spirit inspired in these amicable matches was, to say the least, auspicious. The first Ashbury-Rocket match was interesting, exciting and bloodless. Foulkes, the Ashbury captain, proved a most effective kicker, and MacLaren's run-backs were very successful. Unfortunately, for Ashbury, Renne, the Rocketls captain, was brilliant in his perform- ance. His line plunges, end-runs and tackles were spectacular and the result was a 7-6 victory for Lindenlea. A return watch was arranged for the following week and in this engagement Renne was once more the deciding factor. Although Ashbury were in scoring positions on numerous occasions they failed to carry the ball over the goal line, and the Rockets won by the score of io-o. Vlfharton and Cullwick, both of Ashbury, played well, with the former making sensational tackles and the latter catching many long forward passes. AGAINST B1sHoP7s ISH0P7S rapidly moving backheld and ponderous line soon proved too much for the light Ashbury team. The latter showed excellent team spirit throughout the match, but their line failed to halt the steady l3ishop's onslaught. The match came to an end with a 32-o victory for Bishops Foulkes, MacLaren and Cullwick were outstanding for Ashbury. JUNIOR SCHODL RUGBY Hr: third Held had a fairly successful season and showed excellent spirit at all times. We managed to overcome our friends of Sed- bergh School on two occasions in home and home games and we generally gave a good account of ourselves against a mixed assortment of local teams. David Scott was elected Captain by the team and proved himself an enthusiastic and hard-working leader. Finlay ll for his pass throwing, Dillon for his running and Ned Rhodes for his remarkable kicking of converts deserve special mention. It is only to be hoped that as large as possible a number of these boys of the 194.8 3rd Rugby Field may be allowed and care to keep together through their school days at Ashbury-here is the making of a fine team. No mention of junior School football, hockey or cricket would be complete without mention of Mrs. Rhodes and Mrs. Scott who enthusiastically supported us at every game-we thank these ladies for their loyal support.
